Thank God, I live in Brooklyn, New York and left Boston, Massachusetts in May 2022 and left upstate Massachusetts in late May 2022.

Moved here from the south (atl) 10 years ago for work, the first 5 years I questioned my decision but never thought about leaving, now I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I travel globally for work and love coming home to Boston, it's a privilege to live here.

Mission hill use to be a blue collar neighborhood - zero student housing or frats. It was quiet. Then rents started going sky high in the 80s and the working people who could afford the rent on a flat were forced out. The current rents of $3,000-$5,000 monthly are by no means cheap and is why it takes several students to rent a flat. Not "fun" for all those who have been displaced by the runaway housing costs in America

is it easy to find Job there ?

I hope to leave Boston, Massachusetts next year if GOD willing. I was born and raised in South Boston. We affectionately refer to the town as “ Southie.” I am tired of Democrats. I am tired of all their failed policies. I would love to find a neighborhood where the residents proudly fly the American flag. I would love to find a neighborhood where people are patriotic and religious. I want to find a neighborhood that would give a Democrat nightmares where people have a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other. I am done with Massachusetts. I do not want to burn with the Democrats in their own failed policies. I have a house for sale, but it will cost you $750,000. Hopefully next year.

Beacon Hill is an amazing neighborhood, I just wish it wasn't so expensive.

We are going to Boston in September. Would like to go see the Lexington sites. What is the best way to get from Boston to Lexington? We will not have a car.

I lived in Boston for about 8 years in the late 90's early 00's I absolutely loved the attitude So to each their own folks

I remember growing up in Boston, they would cancel school frequently because of snowstorms and weather.

Newland St Projects.

The food absolutely sucks in Boston. Sub par of every culture.

We can tell you’re not even from Boston because you keep referring to THE South End as just South End… it’s THE South End! And it wasn’t that long ago that Southie natives woulda been pissed off at an out of town guy breaking down and analyzing the neighborhood. And he calls Southie “ quaint” uhhh ok sure, I guess, as long as you don’t get into one of their frequent neighborhood gang brawls or run afoul of the Irish organized crime groups….. quaint 👌

Very repetitive.

Liked it much better 20-30 years ago before all the young professionals moved in and sent prices through the roof and gentrified it.

A) how about not spending half your video on the South End talking about “Southie”?? B) There are almost no “brownstones” in the South End. They are “bow fronts”

Do you charge a brokers fee?

Fantastic

The "Helicopters" one will hear in Mission Hill, are actually called "ghetto birds". Mission Hill was the place to live in the 1980s-1990s if you were an art student; a punk; or a 'minority' coming from an entire family that had lived in Mission Hill for generations- that is, until 1999 when the scumbag landlords decided to up all the rents and gentrify the neighborhood -to make way for all the kids who did not go to work every day for a living. Now-now Mission Hill is a 'safe' place to live - if you are a sheltered college kid who's never known a day's hunger. Mission Hill (simply "Mission Hill"; "The Hill" moniker is actually used in reference to Beacon Hill.), was the cheapest place in Boston to live. Now, it is like "the new South End"...which is a complete polarity to Roxbury Crossing and anything anyone who is actually from Boston and who could tell you about Mission Hill.

@"Living Boston": Try getting off of your cell phones and try to start a conversation with someone. One big 'downside' of living in Boston: kids' parents from fly-over states footing the bill for their brats to live in higher-end buildings-- where the adults live, who are trying to get away from the college atmosphere. Unfortunately. Most said, "Brats" have wealthy parents.

Fun fact: Brookline in Massachusetts is actually the birth place of the 35th president of USA John F. Kennedy.

Having lived in Boston and parts of New England..you are so right on of your Demographics of Boston..it will Always be and has always been one of the strongest economic and cultural engines in the U.S. and So Unique in many ways..and it and Montreal are the Only Nort American cities to emulate European cities in scale and sophistication.👍😊

I moved to "Dot" in 2022 from Los Angeles California after 30 years. Trust me, It's MUCH better here. And I love the neighbourhood.

Living in the South, but visiting Boston a lot, I would say that Southern people who are strangers are easier to talk to. You can go to the checkout line in the South and think some lady talking to the checkout girl must be her mom, when in fact they don't know each other at all. But its important to note that this "friendliness" is somewhat skin deep. It does not mean Southerners are more prone to loan you money, for example, or have more compassion for the poor, or are less likely to "hit and run" in an accident. I enjoy the Southern way, but I also enjoy the Boston way. The advantage of the Boston way is that at least I get a better impression of where a person stands. In the South, I can have a co-worker who I think likes me when he is actually dissing me to other workers. Again, the friendliness is almost an act, a lot of the time.

The 1st part made me miss it, but as a native Western Masshole I left the Commonwealth 10 years ago, because of the policies of the left-wing nuts extremists and moved to the MidWest for work and cheaper cost of living. And many parts of Mass are ghetto trashy, the College indoctrinated think they are "progressive" but nothing has progressed, if anything it is still , bordered up, run down, "old New England style". DON'T MOVE HERE and watch out for the needles and crack heads.

One thing to note, though, is that Boston is very walkable, very bike friendly, and very good mass transit.

That's why Bostonians good at solving puzzle's

Boston is Ass

It’s boring and expensive is the con and the pro is good food

Toronto rich for blood chris fŕom.philly

lived in malden for 2 years (2010-2012), now I live in Gold Coast, AU. I do miss my time in Malden, I love boston, now I have two daughters, maybe one day I will take them to see Malden and the placed I used to live. 10 summer street. I can still remember the smell of dunkin, now it has became another shop if google map is right.

Well put

There is no way someone from the South or Midwest would be able to buy a house in Hingham. If you’re in a place where houses cost 750,000 and less you’re going to move into a 8 million dollar home

I'm interested in living there.

thank you....

Don't forget how bad the roads are. When the college kids move in the entire city becomes overcrowded

Update from 2024, The Bon’s studio is more like $3500 a month

Do men in Boston really look like Chris evans?

Born and raised but left more than 15 years ago. Looks beautiful!

Can't wait to get the Fk out of this city.

I'm life long/2nd generation Eastie and that Waterfront you keep showing to those that grew up here, that's part of the Maverick Neighborhood. I'd consider anything past Bremen St to be Jeffries Point Maverick Station, Lewis Mall to Lopresti Park is Maverick. Then there's Central Square, Day Square. Wood Island Station to Orient Heights Station is Orient Heights. East Boston has always been a working class town, which now being pushed out and displaced! My family is blessed we're to still be here! But we're struggling. All the development is bitter sweet, beautifying areas that very much needed it but at the cost of the hard working people that live here just getting by! On top of it these developments are creating traffic, parking issues and over populating schools in an already congested space! The development going up on Bremen and brook st supposed have, what 110 units and retail space and 64 space parking garage, banking on people not wanting or having a car. And the street parking being bumper to bumper to the point cars take chances blocking driveways and street corners. And that water from during bad storms has been flooding to almost a full block inland. East Boston is a nice place to live (best views of Boston) and should be affordable and accessible for EVERYONE. More and more it becoming not the case!

I'm going to guess that you are a Scorpio.

The bowling part is more than just Boston I remember in Spencer they got it the same way

I think it’s time for you to move to Kentucky or something lol 😂 Boston is the best place I’ve ever lived!

I've never heard the word "Boston" said so many times in one video before

I don’t live in a Boston but, as an outsider, my biggest concern about Seaport would be potential flooding associated w/storm surges. And yes, buildings constructed upon land fill would be a concern too though I have to say that isn’t that also true for other areas of Boston (e.g., Back Bay, etc.)? Have there been any issues in that regard in those areas?

I wrote you email. And you do not answer.

Yall strip club is a 3.1

I feel so old I remember when Ashmont was dangerous and fields corner had an underpass that smelled like piss that I had to run to to get to the other side and hold my breath and also the turnstiles as a kid that we all used to duck under or hop over and skip out on paying with tokens lol I don’t miss any of that though 😂 Dorchester just straight hood people get shot every night in the 90s, had to clutch your purse and all kinds of ish. I came home and even in Mattapan I was like what in the gentrification is this I didn’t know how to react

I enjoyed your video about this wonderful area next to Boston. I am the second generation on my father's side to grow up in Brookline - South Brookline - not far from Putterham Circle - mid -1940 - 1970 when I married a Californian man, a grad student at M.I.T. from Mission Hills, San Diego. Greetings from Southern California! I'd rather be in Brookline, Massachusetts!!!

I am soon moving to Boston. Let's hang out.
