West Roxbury and Readville are firmly 10 miles from the CBD.. West Roxbury Readville and Fairmount are the only "proper" suburban places in Boston and maybe Adams Village...
Urban Development is unbroken from Boston's CBD to Lynn which is 13 miles.
from Boston's CBD to Watertown which is 9 miles.
It's also urban an unbroken from the CBD to Roslindale Village/Cleary Square which is ~10 miles.
I don't know were you're getting 5 or 6 miles. Explain?
Arlington, South Brookline, Belmont, Chestnut Hill, West Roxbury, Squantum, Quincy, Melrose, Saugus I counted that swamp between Revere and Lynn as a gap that's all 5-6 miles from Central Boston.

-You can still drive straight from CBD Boston to Watertown with uninterrupted urbanity of 7-8kppsqm+
-All of those places are pretty urban especially the bolded areas, some them have densities of 5-9k ppsqm.
-South Brookline isn't a town but yesists much less urban than North brookline
-
Point remains that you can drive 10+ miles south and of Boston and have totally unfettered urbantity
- that swamp between revere and lynn takes all of 90 second to drive through and even then theres still apartment compelxes alongside it..and building more
-Even places that aren't that urban have noticeable urban areas in them (Chestnut Hill, West Roxbury)

I’ve been preaching scale this whole time and here’s another one:
Seems what people are trying to do here, at least some people, is elevate Boston to Chicago's level. Chicago isn't NYC, but Boston isn't Chicago, either. Chicago is in between....have I said this already on this thread? Maybe. In order, due to the 3 cities chosen for this thread: Chicago is not at NYC's level, nor is Boston at Chicago's.

NYC
Chicago
Boston
Master of the obvious...why even have a thread on the topic? Nobody is bringing Boston to Chicago’s level..I am explaining the massive gap in stature between Chicago and New York....Chicago has more influence nationally and globally than Boston I get it very clearly...Chicago is closer to Boston’s stature than nyc, overall. Heres another graphic below...the scoring difference from 1 to 8 is much greater than 8 to the end of the graph...Chicago is closer in influence to Boston than New York ...the vast majority of those voting for nyc have to be non-East coast folk with massive nyc inferiority complexes...it really can’t be more obvious..I’m trying to have a legitimate objective discussion about how Chicago’s stature is closer to nyc and I really can’t..all I’ve heard is Starbucks chose to open a store in Chicago

I’ve been preaching scale this whole time and here’s another one:
Chinatown’s
Boston: 1
Chicago: 1
Nyc: 9
If you’re counting places not named Chinatown as Chinatown due to high CHINESE POPULATION (like Flushings) is day Boston has 2. North Quincy being a Chinatown.
Bro i give up. People are on here stating the obvious and either don't understand the concepts of nuance and detail or are unwilling to engage.
Honestly. Enean’s “I said it, so it’s true” argument is hard to counter..

Boston has two unofficial ones in Cambridge and Allston. My CHinese friends who are PhDing in Boston like Allston's and Cambridge's better than the official one.
