Ma is sweet !!!

Should include Burlington, Lexington, Woburn, Andover, and a few other cities/towns around Boston are the exact same price or higher than comparable Boston housing.

Currently living in the Boston area. Really enjoying all your vids! Had to subscribe

I’ve lived here for about 2 years now and I just don’t recommend it for so many reasons but cost of living & low quality of food are just a few reasons

Ive lived in Boston and Manhattan in the last 3 years. This chart is a bit outdated IMO. Nyc restaurants and bars are certainly cheaper and better due to much higher competition and the allowance of happy hours. Boston is now the second highest median rent in the country according to surveys. An overwhelming amount of Bostons apts are also very very old and the “luxury” apts (which are little more than new constructions with some amenities) are more expensive than white glove condo high rises in mid town at this point . At this point Boston groceries in certain places are out of hand and in some cases more expensive than NYC. Finally Boston has the hidden tax of car ownership requirement. Due to the absolutely pathetic state of the MBTA most Boston residents must own a car to get to work where as car ownership in Manhattan tends to be a luxury. Let’s also not forget the final point. This is a comparison of Manhattan to Boston. The other NYC Burroughs like Brooklyn are much cheaper than Boston yet contain 3-4x the population density. It is out of control in my opinion and the value of living in Boston is worse than Manhattan at this point.

My wife is born and raised in Jamaica Plain, I have been working here earing 80k but we're barely scraping by. We are moving out of the country. Thanks Boston for caring for your locals!

Can you explain what the difference is between a 1 day linkpass and 1 day commuter rail zone 1a pass?

It's called slummervill for a reason! If you are a white man born in America, your rent will be 4x higher. The entire state is corrupt and communist socialist. It's definitely not a place where there is any quality. Avoid Taxachusetts unless you're a minority. If you're a minority the state will pay you to vote democratic.

Approximately 300,000 students come to Boston for school every year, and unfortunately, after they graduate, refuse to leave. Boston is a very sophisticated place with the most educated population in the country. They’re not just educated, they’re smart. Boston is progressive without being over the top woke.

The 7 Day Pass sounds like quite the bargain for a longer visit.

My father in law who is from Alabama was a long haul truck driver from the late 1960s through the early 2010s. He explained the high costs up here like this: you have to be specifically trained and specifically licensed to truck drive up into New England. The terrain, the roads and high population make it extremely difficult to navigate by long haul truck. So truck drivers that go up into New England are highly specialized and get paid a lot more than typical drivers. Increased difficulty, increased safety training, increased pay, all make for increased costs.

Is it worth it to rent a car?

Charles St. and Beacon Hill were my stomping grounds in college. A very charming and romantic neighborhood. One of my college friends rented an apartment on Beacon Hill and it turned out to be haunted! So, it's got that going for it too.

How does it work. Good, Better, Best ! So as more it cost ,the better it gets! Around a million dollars will get you near the best area around Boston. West(Brookline, Newton, Wellesley,Weston)North (Belmont, Winchester, Lexington). Don't forget inside Boston 's rich areas.

Best place to live in Boston. New Hampshire.

If my office is in or near seaport, can residing in South Boston suffice for a short commute without a car?

Weekend festivals in the North End

Hot tip, Charlie cards can be used for multiple people. We traveled as a family of 5 and the T employee told us to do this.

I can recall being well informed about CENTRAL SQ. by frequenting it's establishments many times over the years in 1940's -1950'S and 1960's. My brother lived on RIVER ST., my other brother worked at the STOP & SHOP across from the WHITE TOWER Hamburg restaurant and my girlfriend CLAIRE lived off of MAGAZINE ST. Two streets from MASS AVE. In the square was a great ITALIAN restaurant called SIMIONIES that served great food for cheap prices. We often went to the CENTRAL SQ. theatre, even late at night and he e.t had any problem. The square was full of stores like WOOLWORTHS dept. Store and luncheonette and Fruit and Vegetable stores, Hardware stores and Candy stores etc. I miss those years of low prices on everything that are now too high for many middle people. RE

Don’t move to eastern mass!! I’m telling you! We have the worst traffic and the roads are in terrible shape!! Too many people living here! Too damn expensive too. If you wanna pay $2600 and up for rent, well good luck

….if you move to Dorchester for the great hiking, you’re gonna be surprised 😮 😅

August 1st The new tap readers appearing around the system will go live. Then you will be able to tap and go with a contactless card or smartwallet. Also little tip. If you plan on ridding 5 or more times in one day Get the unlimited ride 1 day pass. The total will be less than the 5+ rides done. It’s so worth it after using the system consistently in one day. Plus, simply put, don’t buy a paper ticket. Always get a reloadable card

I can’t believe I prematurely commented on two videos about this 😅 my bad but I get it now, I think lol

Oops I just asked about this on a different video! It sounds like it’s best to take the T downtown from the airport. I’ll be there for one day and I’m doing pretty much everything that you mentioned!

This was super helpful! I’m visiting this weekend and flying into the airport with arrival around 9:30am. Right now I have that I need to get on the bus to the blue line station, buy a ticket, then walk to the inbound side to the government center towards Bowdoin, getting off at the aquarium stop. Is this the best way to get from the airport to downtown? I’m coming from Florida and have never experienced public transportation like this before.

Actually, Mbta is currently installing and rolling out the contactless payment like mta this year 2024

The S & S restaurant is a far cry from the way it was in 1940's, 50's and 60's. It was owned by Jews who made genuine Jewish cuisine like pastrami, corned beef, salami, Matos balls, half sour pickles etc. My brother went there early this year and said it was awful and nothing like it used to be. New owners do that .

I grew up in the INMAN SQ. area 89 years ago. I frequented CENTRAL, HARVARD, LECHMERE, PORTER AND UNION SQUARE IN SOMERVILLE on almost daily basis to shop, eat and go to the theaters. I sold newspapers in INMAN and walked to LECHMERE everynight hitting all drinking spots also. Every square was in walking distance to a young boy and you could take the bus or ride the subway for a nickle each way. Nobody had cell-phones and that made great conversation between friends and strangers. Would I enjoy going back to those years ? Yes, in a heartbeat.....May GOD bless you all.

I lived about a mile from HARVARD SQ. In the 1950's and 60's and my rent for a 6-room apartment was $65 a month. I also shopped and ate in CENTRAL SQ. and INMAN SQ. , PORTER SQ. and DAVIS SQ. in SOMERVILLE...They all had movie theatres except PORTER SQ. Now rents are in the $2,000 to $3,000 dollar range each month, making it almost impossible to live a decent life.

Ferris wheels os one of the best bike shops here

Born and raised Bostonian here, I travel the US for work and I will say Boston has a lot to offer compared to so many others. There are so much to do, we have mountains a short drive, terrific coastlines, tons of history, amazing schools/hospitals and architecture. Boston feels like a major city even though on smaller size, small enough that its manageable and cleaner than countless cities that I have visited. Sadly it has become very expensive to rent or own, I saw many friends move out as they started having kids to areas that are more affordable. Never moved out because I have yet to find a city that offers what Boston does. I cannot believe that homes are going for in the millions in Roslindale/ West Roxbury!

Avoid the area! I grew up there so listen to me

This is an actual story of mine. When riding the T make sure that you yield the handicapped seats to people who need the seat. I was on crutches, riding on the orange line and I was trying to get to the handicapped seat when 2 young adults ( 20 year old) cut in front of me, he sat down in the seat and she sat on his lap making out.

I love living in Boston. I'm so happy that i bought my house right before the crazy interest rates

yeah whats up with there not being a lot of video on Boston? im thinking of moving there and its suprising how little resources their are for such a famous city

Very comertial like?? Doesn’t feel like a warm home neighborhood

I RHODE THIS SUBWAY 5 YRS AGO TO MOVE WHERE I AM NOW... ALL I WAS TOLD IS FOLLOW THE PEOPLE LOL... I FEEL BAD FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE COMMUTE ON SUBWAYS EVERY DAY... I THANK MY LUCKY STARS 🌟 MY JOB AND APARTMENT ARE 2 MINUTES FROM EACH OTHER... SO NO NEED FOR A CAR...AND BUSES ARE FREE IN MY CITY 6 MONTHS OUTTA THE YEAR... ✌

Thomas menino the mayor of Boston in the 90s took bribes and with a stroke of a pen abolished rent control in 1997, Boston since then has gotten increasingly more expensive year after year

Boston is boring as hell

lol. You’re telling people from other parts of the country to start looking at the most expensive neighborhoods in the city. If someone from the mid west is able to afford $4000 a month for a studio, then by all means, get a place on Beacon hill. Otherwise you’ll be like the rest of us an pay$3600 a month for a 2 bedroom in a town 15 miles outside the city.

Nice and concisely narrated description for short stays in Boston.

The reason the drivers are so aggressive is because the road engineering in the Greater Boston area is the worst in the United States. At least in Europe they drive small cars.

yoost too bee u ford assembly plant.

cambridge ?

The most important column in the table is the first from the right - purchasing power index because it combines prevailing wages with CoL - Boston is essentially as expensive as Nashville.

Con #1 City votes Democrat

It’s boring as hell too

Acton. You def missed Acton. Check it out. It’s the new Newton.

beantown is a very odd contradiction , on 1'point good health care , easy to walk about , fairly good schs , and visually easy on the eye's , on the other side of coin way to many killings , it's very pricey to live in beantown , people are socially primitive , and the craziest thing is that for a town in the far northeast it's extremely racist

How about the song by The Standells called Dirty Water? That's a great one. Let's go Red Sox.
