I have lived in MA for the past 10yrs. Near of all places Northampton. Our little town is gorgeous, most of the people are great, but so many new folks in town we don’t know for sure anymore. Like you, love the geography, the history, definitely do not like most of the occupants, OR the politics!!
I lived in Amherst for a few years around 1990.
Really nice out there.
