Hey /trv/.
I've been reading up on alot of areas around Boston that i've been interested in moving to, i'm originally from Florida and i've grown a need to move away from this state to somewhere new - my old shell has finally cracked.
I've been studying the city and i've become to start liking the South Boston area due to its rich history and sights around the city, and how everything is usually within walking distance.(Don't quote me on the walking distance.) It's a hope a thing.
I've seen Good Will Hunting numerous times, which is also a big incentive and probably the biggest influence on me wanting to move there. (Not moving there solely on the movie itself, due to alot of being filmed in and or around Canada.)
Can anyone from South Boston give me any type of insight on what it's like to live there?
Whats the cheapest area in SB to move to as a starting point?
What kind of jobs are there? (I'm a trained Armed Protection Officer with 4 years of expo under his belt - 3 years of Construction and almost 7 years of customer service (Everything combined)) - Granted 7 years isn't alot, but it's also given me some kind of knowledge on leading a life and starting one for myself, away from my family.
Looking for any advice there is. Please throw it at me! Im really interested.

I'm not much help, but
I live south of Boston, closer to Plymouth, but I have spent a lot of time and have friends in Boston. I just want you to understand that it can be VERY expensive to live in Boston.
Boston is a very popular spot for musicians to stop. The MBTA is old, unless it's in the winter, but works. The city does go to bed at about 2am imo. Expect to pay a good amount if you plan on having a car in the city.

Eh not so much on having a car, I have a bike, but I want to be able to walk everywhere.

move to dorchester or roxbury. Theyre not as bas as their reputation, as long as you stay away from mattapan.

>cheapest place to live
do a fucking google check for the apartments in the area for rent and then look lmao it's not exactly rocket science. same goes for jobs dude, you gotta do it yourself
that being said, bostons a bretty gud place to live, south boston being included. it's a tough city that'll shit on you if you look like a beta fuck, which is a lot of people since there are so many college kids here. you either hate it or you love it, once you get past the touristy shit thats pretty much all there is to do unless you go make your own fun

I have no idea what this guy is talking about with people shitting on you if you look beta. I have never seen this happen.
It's a pretty safe city. Just get ready to see "Boston Strong" t shirts every second of your life.
