Reply to comment by A1utra in Should I sell my car? by upstonksonly

people in Boston are delusional about walking. the person you're replying to just said 1.5 MILES away is a reasonable distance away. NO ITS NOT. people here will tell you Boston is the most walkable city and that you don't need a car while you're literally riding shotgun in their car.

keep the car. people who say Boston is a walking city are delusional. the city is unwalkable for months out of the year just from weather alone. both winter and summer and unbearably cold/hot respectively. the transit system is falling apart and won't be fixed any time soon. grocery stores are also notoriously bad in new England. I go to 3 or 4 different stores just to get all my groceries and doing that on foot is awful since Boston is, like I said earlier, unwalkable most of the year.

They were one of the more disappointing restaurant experiences I’ve had in a while. While the internal cook on my steak was perfect, the exterior was charred so heavily it was all I could taste. I know it’s a grilled steak but it was basically burnt on the outside, especially the fat cap.

Everything else, the sides, cocktails, and service were all excellent, but the steak was not good.

Sell your car, your commutes are great for a walk and a car here would just be a hassle for something you’d rarely use. Rent one for weekend trips or whatever
