This is shawmut. I grew up 2 blocks away, and knew it was (is) even more of a dump. What do they even mean pedestrian friendly? My friends lived there and getting jumped and mugged by other high school kids was a fixture for them during the school year. Don’t believe me? A rabble of kids mugged a 69 yr old outside the train station just this May. Any development is welcomed.

Expensive and only decent

I think op might be referring to too many Asians as not diverse enough.

You’re in a good spot. Lived 20+ years in Dorchester and moved to Quincy. You have the best of both worlds as many have mentioned. 15 minutes to downtown on the highway, if no traffic. Quieter and less crammed in than Dot. Way less trashy. Living in Quincy doesn’t chain you to it in your spare time, you can go anywhere.
