More liberal towns tend to be near larger cities. Someone else pointed this out as well, places near Springfield, Worcester, Boston etc.

As some others pointed out as well, housing is extremely expensive here. Especially as you get closer and closer to Boston.

My recommendation is someone in central MA. Towns like Upton, Mendon, and neighboring towns could have availability that might be cheaper than being closer to a large city.

I love living in central MA because I’m about an hour away from everything I could ever want to do. 1 hour from Boston, 1 hour from Springfield, less than an hour from Providence. Its sort of my sweet spot.
