wow, the city of Boston ****ing sucks

[Vulvarine]

lol i lived in Boston for a few years...i'm a big fan of every sports team since my Dad is from there and raised me one. GOAT Sports.

Besides that there really isn't many other redeeming qualities. DD > Starbucks; and you've got one on every corner.

[HtotheOV]

Strega in the Seaport District, North End, Fiore on Hanover , Lo Conte on Salem, Giacomo's (you'll be rushed in and out but food is great) on Hanover, Rabia on Salem.
Champions at the Marriott great sports bar
Pick a steakhouse in the Back Bay.

how's Davios steakhouse? i know its a chain but i believe original is the one that's downtown, correct?

[Gordon Bombay]

Really enjoyed Boston back in 2013. Lots of history, pride and great seafood.

Ever heard of the Seattle Freeze? Well, apparently Boston has that as well if you're not originally from there and/or MA. I didn't get that sense, but who knows.

NYC sucks too. Boston drivers are nowhere near the worst in the country. However, every other negative thing said about Boston in this thread is true.

indeed. that title belongs to Orlando/All Florida drivers. I think they all have a death wish or something.

[scullin]

I remember seeing a vid of a dude wearing a Yankees jersey there and actually getting berated and approached by locals.

^This happens but it used to be a lot worse before 9/11. srs

How's living in DC bro? Do you use your car a lot or is the public transportation system legit? I'm probably going to George Washington Law School and never lived on the east coast so I'm trying to get input on how different it is from California. So far, the only thing i know is that housing is expensive as fuk and traffic is terrible.

I drive but a lot of people use the Metro (train). It's (the train) had some electrical fires for some reason a few times within the last year. Not sure how much that has affected people's commutes since I drive anyway but there's a safety issue for sure. Housing is pretty ridiculous expensive. Everything's expensive to be honest.

Was it because you suggested getting some booze from the packie instead of the liquor store? That's not an accent thing but it sounds retarded to anyone who's not from the area. "We gahta make a run to the paahckie before they close guy"

lol no but I believe I was actually buying booze at the time come to think of it. I don't generally use any of the regional terms like that as I've been away from it for a long time now.

I used to wanna move up north, but more and more in glad I stayed in the southeast. Keep hearing about crap weather, crap standard of living, overpopulated, dirty, etc in all the major NE cities. Fun to visit but I now wouldn't move up to NYC or Boston unless I was ballin wealthy.

Otherwise happy living in RDU and may consider TX

-whole state is under construction
-worst drivers in America
-city was designed by potatoes and is still made for horses as transportation
-the people are rude and unfriendly
-the cops are by far the biggest dbags i have ever seen in a city
-Downtown literally shuts down once 5pm hit..im at work till 7 one day and cant even find a damn DD or Starbucks open
-Women ugly as fukk besides chicks at BU


NYC ****s all over it

Well, except for your assertion that NYC chits all over Boston, all your points are indeed correct. It's a weird town if you were expecting to go there as an out-of-towner and actually have fun; the entire city is like one big private club where you have to be a member to gain access to the VIP Lounge. There's some good chit to do in and around Boston, but you have to be on the inside to find it.

Dem BU chicks doe, hnnngggg!

[StiffSproles]

OP, you are the one that sucks. srs.

My ***** Drips617 can confirm.

Forgot that one, usually I go to the one by Gillette Stadium. It's excellent, great veal chop

Philly > Boston

Thx for the info! How about the weather? Does it rain or snow a lot?

[Fiyero]

There is a great french restaurant near the capital. Best in the country.

If you're not a plebe and call shell out 500+ on a call girl, some of the hottest in the world work DC regularly bc politics. Weed is terrible compared to anywhere in CA but it's better than NYC for sure.

Then there is traffic. Awful awful awful weather. Maybe 30 comfortable days a year in DC. Either humid or cold, wet-cold. Lots of dumb liberal arts majors prancing around trying to be advisers. Bar scene sucks. It's very "diverse." Which means crime is astronomical. Particularly violent crime. Women are gross. "politics is hollywood for ugly ppl." Cliche bc it's true. The take-out food sucks. It's expensive.


All things considered, DC is the worst place to live in the United States

Lol, so much wrong with this post. Crime is not astronomical. The city is gentrifying so fast. The only dangerous places are those nobody would ever go to.

Our public transportation system currently sucks royally. 2nd busiest in the country, but it catches on fire practically everyday, constant broken trains, single-tracking, incompetent employees, and it is about to undergo a major year log repair process, shutting down many segments for weeks at a time.

And yes, traffic absolutely sucks here. Arguably the worst in the country.

But it is a pretty nice city. Unique with its European/Parisian design and of course the monuments and museums. It's building up crazy fast too, so neighborhoods that a few years ago were ghettos are now throwing up luxury apartments and shops.

And yes, it's very expensive. Probably 3rd most expensive city now after San Fran and NYC.

We have at least 4 fires on the Metro every week right now, often with delays of 45 mins, single-tracking, offloading due to broken doors, overcrowded platforms. Metro is absolute crap, which is why it's going through a major repair process over the next year. Feds threatened to shut the entire thing down it's so bad.

[Laconises]

Boston is very similar to the Misc in that it's a closed elitist environment.

Kept hearing "Brahmin as in never my brahmin" when I was there.

Fuk that shiit. How can public transportation be bad when the traffic is so bad? I'm coming from Berkeley area where we have BART and its so convenient. I'm guessing driving is pretty much a necessity there especially for students? Also for crime, if its not bad then why is it ranked worse than 97% of cities in the country? Is crime just concentrated in one small area where people try to stay away from?
