Does it brag that it is the "best run city in America" like Phoenix?
That really is a JOKE. But at least it is not like South Florida. Oh my God. They just change the name of the street in the middle of driving on it. That was the worst nightmare.

we either put it fifty miles ahead or fifty feet ahead. there Is no in between. you either forget about it or you dont have enough time to switch lanes when you do see it
Not sure what that means. Downtown Boston? Many short one-way streets. Best stick to the highways passing though. To get to places there you really have to know the layout and the systems or else you can end up somewhere very different. Not very intuitive. I have done it - I know enough I can do it but most of the time I stay away from those areas.
Boston is easy to understand. You have a series of Colonial Villages that morphed into one big Metro Area. Colonial village think of how cows go to pasture and drunks wander home. To add to the confusion the Back Bay and similar areas were filled in make living space. since they still needed harbors not all areas were filled in. Cambridge is a separate City along with Brookline etc. Confused yet? you should be
Remember the Mass Pike fiasco aka terminus was finally "corrected" by the Big Dig. (color me laughing here) One is still dependent on the Callahan & Tobin Tunnels, and the Storrow Bridge all else does not matter. Second most important roads to remember are Route 9, 30, and 3 in that order - they all lead out of the City. Do watch ones speed through Wayland however - the city lives off the revenues
In short live on a MBTA line and know where you are going - save the effort of driving. BTW I still know 95 as Route 128
