Reply #46: Boston, South End

[mdhunter]

1. Where do you live?

Boston, South End, near Boston Medical.


2. How outrageous are housing prices in your town?

I was expecting worse for my apartment than it was. The market (for apts) in SE/Back Bay seems to me be overpriced by about 12%. For example, $1600 is a very common price for a nicer apartment here, which is close to what I think they're worth, about $1400-$1450 or so.


3. What do you do to pay the rent/mortgage? (read: what do you do for a living)?

I'm a part time masters student (in public health) interning and looking for work.


4. How long have you been a Masshole?

Not long. Since this past August - 6 months now.


5. Will Romney run again in 2006?

Yes, but I expect that he doesn't serious want the position - only a as a step for the a shot at national office.


6. Who should the Dems run in 2006?

Don't know about this one.


7. Can eastern and western Mass ever get along?

Sure, on some things.


8. Who did you vote for in the March primary?

Wasn't here.


9. Be honest: do you think the Sox will win it all this year?

I didn't, that's for sure. I after the 6th game of the ALCS I saw a glimmer of hope, but still thought they were doomed.


10. If they do win it all, will Massachusetts fall into the ocean?

I might have predicted so, yes.
