Worcester is a so-called city.. yes, "伍斯特本身是个破落的工业城市". But the life is ok here. Not bad. There is a Chinese supermarket, two Vietnamese Supermarkets, not big, but you can buy almost everything you need. TJMAXX, Target, Price Chopper, Price Rite.. all about 5-10 min drive. Walmart is about 20 min drive. There are several malls around. There are several Chinese restaurants like "Lao Si Chun", "Chong qing Shi Fu", not too far away. about 30-50min drive. Also some other nice restaurants near by. There is a Chinese Church in town.
You don't have to live in Worcester, because MA is really small and there are some nice towns not far from Worcester.
Massachusetts also allows towns/cities to choose a "piggyback" rate of 0.75% for meal establishments. This local option is paid by such establishments as a total 7% to the state sales tax collector, which then passes the 0.75% back along to the locality. Less than 20% of localities have taken up on this option, and businesses should check with their town if they are included. See Mass TIR 09-13 for more details.

请问州税高吗？有没有地方税？适合有两个孩子的家庭长期生活吗？实在不想再挪了。另外，如果只有一个人工作的话，年薪10万左右，是个什么生活水平？谢谢
MA tax 5.3%
没有地方税
消费6.25%，不过可以去NH，没有消费税
同意应该住boston-worcester之间。
westboro, northboro那片学区都不错。不过10万可能买不到什么好房子。
但是大波士顿好的区，那房子也是很贵的。
年新10万，养一家。估计有点紧。如果双收入2个人15+估计还可以。
买衣服没有税
单件200以下才没税
并且accesories要税
不过也不错了，还是喜欢portland
伍斯特本身是个破落的工业城市，没什么太多文化气息。住房比波士顿便宜很多，附近好像有些town学校还不错。

这个还真是头一次听说，不过对我来说也不算个限制，因为从来没买过两百块钱以上的衣服

你估计是对的，前面也有人说175来着，以前我看到过225这个数字，不知道是改了？还是225是另一个界限
