My office is in Kendall Square (near MIT), my house is in Central Square (Cambridge) and I spent most of my time in Fenway, downtown and Harvard. As a reference. But in my experience, this is a systematic issue in Boston Area.

Also, I'm a biker, I don't drive (I don't even have a drivers license in the US, I hate driving, but I know how to drive and have drivers license in other countries), if it matters.
