Does anyone else not like Boston

I work in LA but visited Boston recently. It is a fun city to visit - nightlife is pretty fun especially with all the colleges and food is good (really only Italian and American), but people seem pretty preppy and it feels pretty tiny. Also for some reason it feels like you're back in the year 2009. Also everyone at a good shop whether it's banking or pe or law seems to have gone to Harvard or MIT, in California it's way less rigid in that sense. Also whole town smells like cheese.
