    Greetings. Im a old native born New Yorker from the Bronx living out in the S.W. region , in New Mexico and have been here for a few decades now. I lived in the Boston area in the early 80's i really enjoyed my time living there and seeing many cultures that quickly reminded me to dome extent the boroughs of N.Y.C. in some aspects. Don't get wrong though both have their unique things but ? Never the less great. I actually lived in the witch city Salem and that little town north of Boston was really interesting in its right too. Anyway in close i hope one day before i pass i can get back to the beloved Northeast and enjoy once again all the sites and sounds of both N.Y.C.? And the Boston areas. Grazie mille Buona Natalie

    Nice nice work here. Couple of additions…many people of Asian decent move to quincy because of the shopping; Waltham is on route 128 where there there’s a nice pocket biomedical and technology companies; Brookline is known for an excellent school system, many private schools and within walking distance almost to Fenway park and Boston children’s and Harvard medical. Look into Nahant, a lamb chop shaped town connected to Lynn by a causeway. Many doctors and airline people, northeastern marine biology lab, where nothing really happens. A member of the Boston mafia, Angullo, lived there for years. You fly over it to Logan. Great job…keep going. It would be fun to ask a bunch of college students their opinions of different parts of mass.

    hello! recently accepted a position at HBS. Looking for good areas to live. Walked around Alston and it wasnt that classic 'boston' vibe the back bay provides. Any recommendations? I have never lived in a large city before what is the maximum ideal walking/biking distance when commuting?

    • @BreakingDownBoston
      @BreakingDownBoston Місяць тому

      Congrats on the job! I’m assuming HBS means Harvard Business School. If yes, ideal walking or biking distance is whatever you’re willing to tolerate. I prefer 30 minute or less walk. Anything longer than that is miserable in parts of winter. HBS is sort of off public transit, unless you want to walk from the Green Line or Red Line. If you don’t want Allston, you could try Harvard Square or Central Square. North Brookline would also get you close to the 30 minute walk radius.

    It's not population driving the higher costs. How come it was so affordable in the 70s than it is now? Pop is only greater by 30k+/- now compared to the 70s? Makes no sense, same room, same population but astronomically more expensive. It hasn't been a gradual increase. This increase in cost started about 20 yrs ago and hasn't stopped and it has spread to almost all of New England. There are no rural or inner city to fall back on. Everything is the same and costs keep rising. Population in Boston was 800k in the 50s but was still affordable? Boston has even reduced or removed housing projects so who did they sell that land too?

I met some foreign women not from here and the Columbian women are the friendliest. Maybe go there? - Nanny state with vote blue no matter who liberals infesting this place. Second amendment is a joke here with new recent gun bill passed making it the most restrictive state in US including California. - Expensive all over Massachusetts. Better work 3 jobs to buy a house. - Super aggressive drivers, yes it’s rubbed off on me but I drive cautiously aggressive and let people pass if need be. - Be ready to shovel snow, lots sometimes. - They treat strangers like dirt. “Massholes” they call us and for good reason, though I’d like to think I buck the trend. If I owned this place and hell, I’d rent out this place and live in hell. My recommendation - STEER CLEAR.
