Metro Boston has a huge concentration of highly educated people who create intellectual property. They’re highly compensated. It’s a mini version of the Bay Area and creates the same crazed housing costs. The gentrification of former working class towns is quite remarkable. There aren’t many places left that aren’t at least 50% college educated adults and 60%+ and 6 figure household income is pretty typical in what used to be working class towns. With all the college educated parents, the schools rival the blue chip suburbs that have always had good schools.
another (dozen +) huge labs proposed in recent days w/ others just broken ground. Housing projects are barely keeping up.

Boston and chicago hoods are not even that bad looking.
Yea that’s the heart of what we’re saying. I’d also easily put DC in that category of ‘highly urban cities with relatively benign looking hoods’.
I also feels this way about many many NYC hoods tbh.
Man, they need to cap that freeway and get some parkspace going because that area is booming and needs more public greenspace. Also a rapid transit line that uses the Purple Line express tracks then goes underground with the Red line around Clyburn and then continues southwards under Halstead. Also there needs to be a new bus service that serves the length of Ogden Avenue include N Ogden going from the Cicero BNSF Metra stop in the southwest to just past the Grand Ave Blue Line station.

Well, I doubt the Kennedy will be capped. Ur is not that bad and many bridges. The video shows green-space and not was a former meatpacking/warehousing district. I'd say they did good and city adding trees on streets.
I guess we can always find improvements that can be made. The West Loop is still renewing so we shall see. I get always room for more green.
Nice video near downtown highly desirable too you know. Love the North Shore neighborhoods. Yet by Real Estate, included as if part of downtown many times.

No one can say this is not a great Urban American city and tree-lined with great parks and Ocean-LIKE setting.
Kennedy capping along with a lot of other freeway caps in Chicago need to happen. There are a lot of unnecessary ramps and Chicago's already blessed with quite a few freeways that are trenched, so the best thing to do is to cap them for multiple reasons.

Really nothing remotely scary about the appearance of these hoods. Like, at all.
Some of the ones in the Bronx are treacherous looking though. Definitely. East Tremont and some other places in the south Bronx are pretty intimidating but it’s a super minority of NYC Hoods. Even NYCHA is pretty nice looking on the exterior.
Not much at all in NJ a looks bad like parts of AC/Trenton/Camden Or even Newark/Paterson. I wouldn’t lump those hoods together at all.there actually blog abandonment and copious litter there and tons of people hanging on corner, weeds and a lawless vibe. None of that really applies to the vast majority of NYC hoods. It’s the rule in New Jersey.
When people say NYC is scary looking (which honestly Ive only heard from you, not a snarky shot just a fact):
I’d assume it one of three things I assume either they were:
1- I. The Bronx. So that’s valid
2. Equate lots of black people outdoors shooing with scariness?
3. Watched a lot of old movies.
BUT you lived there so I’m assuming you have your valid reasons.
I was in NYC all of last weekend visiting family. I was in Jackson Heights, Valley Stream, Crown Height and 135th Uptown: nothing I saw was scary. I even went Jamaica, and Ozone Park for Trinidadian Doubles, Bake n Shark etc. went downtown right off the Hudson’. I was moving around.
I’m of the opinion Hartford hoods are way scarier than NYC on average. Way more. Much less well maintained, and far poorer and more desolate. With multitudes higher crime. Places like that or Philly or asylums or Bmore. Even Vegas had some hoods that were pretty sketch.
