Slowly sinking while all the residents get priced out of housing and no one who works there can actually afford to live there?

I’ve hypothesized that in the future, there will be demand for engineers that update buildings and make them taller to accommodate for rising sea levels.

Boston will probably resemble Venice in many neighborhoods

This wouldn't affect you as a tenant but I have had to replace my hot water oil heater twice in the last 10 years. The servicing co says finding one is like hen's teeth and they don't even make them in the us anymore. As someone else said, it is so expensive in winter months but almost 0 in warmer months. Hope you find a good place!

We see these pictures every time there's a storm, and I've heard of approximately 18,000 waterfront planning studies, but does the city have any real, funded capital plan to fix long wharf? Like it clearly needs it's elevation raising a few feet, ideally it needed it about 50 years ago, so why haven't we done anything? If we can't fix things that already regularly flood what hope do we have for the future?

Counter review… I stayed at one of these and Chicago and it was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. Outside of the small rooms, it was located below a club. Extremely loud thumping music all day. Front desk refused to move us. Couldn’t sleep. If this place is anything like the Chicago one…. RUN do not walk away from it

When on my own, I stay at Found Hotel which is close to Boston Common, Chinatown, Tufts Medical Centre, and Copley Square. It's also about a block or 2 south of the Four Seasons Hotel where I stay when in Boston for work. I've recommended it to a handful of friends and all have enjoyed their stays. Good luck.
