Despite the bad aspects that you mention (and which I agree are bad), I really do love living here. Boston feels like home.
I don't always love, or even like, the driving. Frequently, people on the road drive me insane. But I do love that I know how to get around anyway. :-} Like you, though, I love the history, culture, people, and the food (though it's not quite the food mecca the NYC is for me, but very few places are!). I love that smart people come here. I love that it's one of the few places in the US where you really can see the history of this nation around you. I love that it's not a long drive to beautiful countryside, in several directions.
