Why are houses in EAST BOSTON half the price of houses in other parts of Boston?

Date: May 23rd, 2018 11:49 PM Author: violet hunting ground liquid oxygen Why do they cost 30%-50% of what houses in other parts of boston with similar transit access cost? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3985098&forum_id=2#36116361) |

Houses go for $2 million in Bed-Stuy (where the Spike Lee movies and Notorious BIG music videos were shot) and $4 million in Harlem these days.

when I was a kid it was all greasy guidos in Eastie, and its only gotten worse. always been the least sexy Boston hood |

Kind of like asking why people pay to live in the West Village when Ozone Park is so affordable. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3985098&forum_id=2#36116395) |
|
Date: May 24th, 2018 12:03 AM Author: violet hunting ground liquid oxygen It's 8 minutes from East Boston to Government Center on the T according to Google Maps.
Ozone Park is like an hour from Midtown.
Williamsburg in Brooklyn is about 8 minutes from Union Sq, has shitty schools, is bisected by a highway, and is as expensive as many MFH neighborhoods. |

I mean sure, some people will give a shit, but the discount is like 70%... |

|
Date: May 23rd, 2018 11:58 PM Author: Autistic goyim laser beams ? There are lots of shitty remote areas of NYC too. They should probably just cut them off into their own cities. |

Date: May 23rd, 2018 11:59 PM Author: Ruby Kitty Cat MFH is also separated by water (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3985098&forum_id=2#36116440) |
|
Date: May 24th, 2018 12:00 AM Author: Autistic goyim laser beams Boston is so small, that a better comparison would be if NYC consisted of only MFH and Staten Island (East Boston being Staten Island).
Also I actually do think breaking up NYC into separate smaller cities would be a good idea anyway. MFH and Bronx can be NYC. Brooklyn can be its own city. Queens can be a bunch of smaller cities. |

Date: May 24th, 2018 12:03 AM Author: Ruby Kitty Cat Boston is very likely to absorb some neighboring cities in the coming years. Wynn casino is in one neighboring city, FBI HQ in another (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3985098&forum_id=2#36116464) |

|
Date: May 24th, 2018 12:07 AM Author: violet hunting ground liquid oxygen Don't see how this is relevant. The quality of a commute doesn't depend on a city's relative size. It depends on the absolute length of the commute.
It's practically impossible to get a house anywhere else within 25 minutes of the T to Govt Center for less than $1M, yet in Eastie they go for $425k |

You think Eastie's gonna gentrify? |

|
Date: May 24th, 2018 12:18 AM Author: violet hunting ground liquid oxygen i guess it just seems like they gentrify more efficiently in NYC i guess. i mean this same house would be like $1.5M in other Boston neighborhoods with twice the commute

Date: May 24th, 2018 12:07 AM Author: violet hunting ground liquid oxygen I don't know shit about Boston. Just surprised at the massive differential bc in NYC a neighborhood like that would've gentrified already. But Bostonians seem to prefer to pay $2M for the same house in a gentrified neighborhood rather than gentrifying a new neighborhood. Not gonna judge, but very different from what I'm used to.
