no. it's actually straight up embarrassing when people mention pizza in Boston because inevitably Regina's is brought up as the best and I just shrink back in shame. truly awful pizza and completely sad that this is the best pizza in Boston. I had some friends from new York come visit and they wanted to try some pies here, so I brought them to Regina's on a whim even though I personally don't like it either. but it was sooooo embarrassing when I asked if they liked it and they gave me a "yeah" and that's it. a couple minutes later I see them start spitting it into their napkins. when people ask about pizza in Boston now, I just say it's not really a thing here or I recommend blaze pizza.

you're literally the delusional person im talking about... you claim Boston is a walking city but also enjoys going on 4 mile sanity walks. not everyone likes that and selling Boston as a walking city just because you're used to walking 4 miles at a time is just ridiculous.

not surprised at all. I went on a jog on st Patty's and I bumped shoulders lightly on accident with a few groups of drunk dudes since they were taking up the entire sidewalk. one group started chasing me and screaming "get that ch**k (asian slur)" and another guy grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back and tried to grab my head. I was able to get away in both these situations but I imagine if I didn't they would've gotten violent too.

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.
