i’m staying for 4 days so i’ll just do this twice

If We buy charlie cards and we are going to visit Salem by train is this included?

Dot is great until you get robbed. I lived there 7 years and was robbed twice in an "upscale" part of Jones Hill. My house and my car were both broken into. Convenient yes, secure, no. I moved to metro-west after the house robbery, that was enough for me. If you live in a triple-decker on the upper floors, and without a car, maybe you will be ok. Its too bad because Dot has nice parts with many recreational options. I would love to continue living in one of the many large Victorians, but when you are violated like that, it ruins the experience.

Do you know where the best/cheapest place to park for the day near a subway stop?

Love Boston and Massachusetts and New England as a whole! Great place to raise a family.

MBTA website states there is free shuttle in between Airport Blue Line station and terminals. Correct? Where can I find this shuttle?

As of August 2024, a new fare payment system has been implemented on subways, buses and trolleys. In addition to paying with your charlie card, you can also tap your credit card, or a phone with a digital wallet on the new screens by the fare gate/box. Just make sure to tap your phone/credit card on the screen and your charlie card on the circle. As for on the commuter rail, you can use a digital wallet, credit card, or cash to pay the conductor while onboard. Enjoy the T.

So my British gf flew into Boston to work a summer job in NH a few months ago and soon I'll be driving from Ohio to pick her up and meet her for the first time. After our roadtrip I'll have to take her back to Boston for her return flight to London. Watching this and a video about driving in Boston I'm having a panic attack thinking about it because I have crazy anxiety. For my own sanity would it be better to just find a hotel the night before like way outside the city and just take an Uber into the city to the airport? I guess the issue with that would be that her flight isn't until 8:30pm so we have to find something to do with her luggage all day. I just am freaking out hearing how hard it is to drive in near Boston and yea I think it'd be horrible for my anxiety, especially with heightened emotions from her leaving and going home

That'd anchor my will to move there

Shout out to Blind Scott. !!! That guy's a legend on the Ben Maller show. Glad him and it looks like the officer will be alright.

Nice a TH-cam channel talking about my hometown

I think it wouldve been cool to have them in boston, but logistically, I just couldn't see it happening even with upgrades to the current infrastructure

Fuck boston

moving to boston in 2 weeks. yes, my rent is 3k a month ( im a grad student) and no, i’m NOT taking my car. 😭

what about Lexington and Concord. They are a few miles out of the city. Are there any tours that go out there? Great video. I would highly recommend going to see the USS Constitution. The tour guides are actually members of the US Navy.

Yeah no thanks. Olympics can stay away.

but love your explainations❤

no one comments😢

Sputnik looks a lot like dT areas of stjohns Newfoundland…and fun fact whitey was from Newfoundland and his family lived in the area Im speaking of which is where my family was from and where I lived for most of my life

Great comprehensive video

Just where or what is 'southie'? Are you talking about SOUTHY? Which is pronounced South-e? Get it?

Instead of talking about the yuppies who come here thinking there cool or trendy why don't you make a video about the ethnic cleansing of South Boston. And how they turned from a family community and how they broke up The community so, these young professionals can come here For a year or two and on to the next big city. Boston is ruined not just south Boston but all Boston But you wouldn't know about that Would you??

Just a heads up, nobody says _the_ Boston Harbor or _the_ South Station. They're just Boston Harbor and South Station. Also, taxis are more reliable than ride shares from the airport.

I wish it was just boston, but anything surrounding boston until you start hitting NH is expensive as hell.

The ugliness, the cold, the decay. Unless you are really well paid, it is not worth it. Every time I come back to MA I am reminded that I made such a good decision when I moved out.

I am moving to the Boston area and need to know how does the monthly passes work?

Funny thing about Massholes and driving in the Boston area is that the state actually has the statistically safest roads for drivers in the country. The crash fatality rate is .048 per 1000 drivers and the 5th safest highway in the US is I-495. There are few lanes for drivers to weave through and traffic is so bad nobody can drive fast enough to kill each other. It kinda shows we're "aggressive rather than bad"

not me seeing this after moving to boston

you forgot about east boston, good sir

More real estate sales blather that a dozen others have stated in other videos.

Nice information and talk about Boston.

A lot of people who live in Chelsea and Work in Boston take the 111 bus. Take you to Haymarket station. There's also the Silver line if you're going to Seaport, South station.

My Dad lived in Waltham for 10 years before I came along and went to Marlborough. It's pronounced Wall thAm with the am pronounced like ham. I teach in Framingham public schools. Your school quality is going to depend on the neighborhood. Some are high results, high income communities while others are extremely high needs low income large immigrant communities. Framingham has strong community programs and puts a lot into the welfare of their communities. Much more so than other towns. Marlborough not listed also has strong community engagement.

Another reason Boston rent is so high isdue to the landlord tenant laws. Evictions take forever, so that is priced in to every apartment.

Avoid at all cost lifelong resident!!

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, many 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?
