> So, maybe Boston is a good option for our climate change future?

Unlikely, given that places nearer to the poles have experienced greater variations. But I don't think Boston is at existential risk or anything like that, with ample water sources and enough elevation aside from a few places.

It will be a fantastic place for HVAC contractors over the next few decades. Not enough homes have AC (and the ones that do are underpowered), and there's a huge imbalance of tradespeople vs. PMC-type people, so the former will be able to command much higher rates.
