Boston Misconception #3: Bostonians are jealous of New Yorkers.

This just simply isn't true. It appears to be a nasty rumor perpetrated by Manhattanites -- probably hatched and texted around while they're stuck in gridlock rush hour traffic.
In reality, the two towns are distinct enough to foster strong preferences for one or the other -- but hardly jealousy of what the other has going on. If you want an academic atmosphere, distributed green space and roads that take thirty-seven years to build and never have their potholes patched, you come to Boston. If you're more interested in metropolitan boom, one big-assed park and getting felt up, propositioned or drooled on in a subway car, then NYC is the place for you. I don't see the controversy, frankly.
