    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.

      If you’re going from the Airport Station on the Blue Line, walk right outside the outside the station and get on the bus going to your terminal. Each bus will have signs saying which terminal is the destination. If you’re coming from the terminals to Airport Station, follow the airport signs for buses and “Blue Line”. Routes 22, 33, 55, and 66 will take you to Airport Station.

    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

    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"

    @prominecrafter11 27 дней назад

    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.

    • @sage3609
      @sage3609 25 дней назад

      Totally agree. I frequently traveled to NYC when I lived in Jamaica Plain in the last three years and was shocked at how much more there was to do, how much better the public amenities were, how much better the food was, and how much cheaper things seemed than Boston. It totally sucked getting around Boston without a car and the Mbta was more unreliable than transit in my hometown of Dallas. I now live in a nice part of Pittsburgh nestled in between the densest parts of the city and could not be happier. I would never be able to afford the conveniences I have here in Boston, and I really don’t feel like I’m missing anything because everything I’m Boston was so expensive on my teacher’s salary (on the north shore, not within the city) that it was hardly an option. Now I make about half as much and my quality of life is miles better. The most remarkable things I miss are the Dominican and Ethiopian food, Boston has a good scene for that. But the rest of the city is just pure hype for a city that really only serves academics, consultants, and doctors.
