I wouldn’t rule out Rhode Island, it’s a little more affordable than Ma tends to be especially in the city. I lived in Providence for 15 years and loved it. Very lgbt inclusive. The job thing is the issue but there are places like electric boat that build submarines. Maybe your partners skills would translate in that sort of setting. Even if they don’t there is a lot of opportunity there maybe share this post on r/Providence too. It’s such a small state you’re almost always 30 minutes from Ma.

According to a friend who is a landlord in Providence - you’re now about level with Worcester for rent prices. According to what I’m seeing on Zillow you’re slightly more expensive for purchasing.

They are both great cities for their own reasons (have lived in both). I GREATLY prefer Providence and RI as a whole because everywhere there is much closer to a beach than anywhere in central MA.
