Agree. I used it a few years ago to report a guy threatening ppl on the Blue Line. Next stop they kept the doors closed until the police showed up and took him off.

Boston cops will not do anything. Guaranteed.

Yeah ur right there’s nothing psychotic abt nearly running someone over and chasing them down to assault them.

As a Mexican myself yup, I second this.

I wouldn’t hold out for the Creedence.

i was wondering that too.

maybe it's because the redline takes an hour to get from alewife to braintree, and it only takes 38 minutes to get from Forest Hills to oak Grove. it's a long ride, so i assume a lot of homeless people especially now in the winter are riding it.

maybe they like the vibe of constant danger of the ancient trains giving out, power going back on and off, and the beautiful sounds. feeling like a 1970s horror movie.

Don’t. Having it on you means you’ll smoke.

Best restaurants in that hood are Menton and Chickadee

Does it even matter? Any opportunity to move out of Alabama is good enough IMO!

What a clever idea. As an ex-smoker, I don’t know if I’d trust myself to carry around a pack for this scenario, but I like this suggestion

No broker fees with condos. Condos are much better value in Chelsea beyond . I currently have a condo $2300 665sq ft with parking and amenities. 10min drive to seaport. I’ll be moving to the vero and no fees to move in there just security first last .

Tip for the future: Get yourself a renters insurance policy. It’s $10-$15 a month. It would cover a theft like this, as well as other property damage, liability, and living expenses if your apartment becomes uninhabitable.

And watch/lock up your valuables at the gym.

Jesus christ guy, eat makes you think they would give you their customers addresses?

I mean obviously there is no way to get to BPD hq without a car. /s

Row 34 is one of the best seafood restaurants in New England.

Would maybe add Woods Hill Pier 4 for brunch to this list too. Row 34 is also a good spot.

I grew up here and didn't even have A/C until I was like 25 years old. I maybe use it 20 days a year (mostly at night) when it's really brutal in July/August.

They now park on Tremont street in front of the BPD Headquarters.

Traffic doesn't seem impacted by the loss of a traffic lane, but the low-level corruption is even more obvious as there's dozens of No Parking/Tow Zone signs being flagrantly ignored. Still an improvement over the sidewalk, I guess.

Barking Crab for your traditional fried seafood and Bud Light. Yankee Lobster for the same if you want to avoid frat bros. Legals for your upscale seafood dinner. James Hook for a lobster roll.

I'd say you're pretty much looking at $25-30K of extra cost of living, most of that being housing. So even with "only" $225K (lol) you wouldn't notice a huge change in your standard of living.

The car-free thing depends on where exactly you want to live. You really need to live in the core areas (most of Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and specific neighborhoods of Brookline, Revere, Newton, and Malden) for it to be feasible.

One option is going "car light" and signing up for Zipcar or one of those services. Then you can rent a car in your neighborhood at an hourly or daily rate whenever you need one, without having to deal with the hassle of parking, mechanics, etc.

There are sites that have COL calculators. They are possible guides.

According to this calculator, $100K in Birmingham, AL is equal to $191,000 in Boston, MA.
