Here in Massachusetts, we have losses also. The biggest losses are along the coast line and in the Berkshires on the western side of the state. Yes, these happen to be the most progressive areas of the state, but I tend to believe that Cape Cod is too costly due to the increase of tourism/vacation homes and lack of economic development in the Berkshires.
