They sold a condo in Back Bay for 3.2 million. and mltible others in the 3 million range
and LOL
No i dont think so, Boston is still better by a narrow Margin.
Boston is more expensive that Philly in general but there was a 17 million condo that sold last year FWIW. But was a penthouse and rumored to have been purchased by Ryan Howard.

I wouldnt Pay 17 million dollars to live in a mansion in Manhatten, let alone a condo in CC, he is crazy

I hear you. Also it probably sold well below the listing price - though there is a fairly healthy market in the 1-5 million range for condos in Rittenhouse. A new 31 story building in Rittenhouse just started yesterday I believe - probably will be toward the low end of that with the smaller condos below the million range.

Really the only reason Boston is so much more expensive than Philly is because they dont let anything get built while Philly does, so for boston it is same Demand, and continously less stock. While Philly has a countinuosly growing stock, allowing for a steady cost of housing.

Homes in Boston go for quite a bit more than 3.2 mil...one of the penthouses in the Mandarin Oriental in Back Bay just sold for a bit over $13 mil. Last year the highest was about $11 mil...here's the top 10 from last year. Also, according to BostonRealEstate, there are 6 homes in the city proper listed over $10 mil, with the highest at $23 million.
No we don't. We hate the Yankees, that's a very different thing.
As for the question? The answer is fairly obvious. Philadelphia is tainted (from a NY reference) by New Jersey. Boston is further away, and thereby not associated with areas more intimately tied in with New York. It's far enough away to be seen as a respected (though diminutive) rival, whereas Philadelphia is just across the river from South Jersey -- why would NYC compare itself to that?
Add to this that Philadelphia has a more valid reason to rival Baltimore or DC, and it just makes sense for NYC/Boston to compete with one another. The two cities have more in common than either does with other BOS/WASH cities (universities, finance, health care, art, and of course Baseball).
I almost got serious beat down in A Montreal bar for wearing a yankees hat, by some big ass jocks..............who were wearing boston bruins jersey's. The hate towards NY is strong on the beantown side of things, specially when alcohol is involved........Those Irish guys love to fight.LOL
In a little twist of irony and am not sure if the author knows, but NBC (channel for SNL) is now owned by Comcast and headquartered in Philly which is kind of funny given the last line of the article...

Crazy as it seems, New York is starting to feel like an also-ran. What's next? Live from Philadelphia—it's Saturday Night!

Philly is closer to NYC than Balt or DC also the rivalry in sports is far more heated with NY than either baltimore or DC; especially in sports.
There is the Yanks/Sox but also Giants/Eagles (more heated than Jets/Pats) and also Mets/Phils (but not the same as Yanks/Sox) then th Rangers/Flyers or even Devils/Flyers
and on your criteria please elaborate on where the commonalities of
Universities, health care, art, football are any stronger or even as strong when comparing NYC to Philly - Finance I give you
I think on the sports end of things, this thread is now an amusing relic as Philly has fully stepped up its baseball and football games to unprecedented heights.
