Philly born. PG raised

Massachusetts as a state is nice as hell, bunch of rich people living low-key

Can't speak in Boston specifically cuz I been working outside of the city, if you genuinely worried about safety just get a spot that's a short commute outside of the city, that'll cut down any potential fukkery from randoms by atleast 50%. Wife up a chick from a well off family or a graduate from one of these Ivy League schools





Philly tho :francis: take some boxing classes and keep yea head on a swivel if you got a healthy beard cut some patches in it so they locals think you one of them :mjlol:

fukk you :dead:

Food better in Philly.

I think nightlife too although it’s not impressive in either place.

QOL Philly is a downgrade - traffic and public transport is worse (yes even worse than Boston). Schools are worse. Everything dirtier. More crackheads.

You’ll be alright. Those ritzy neighborhoods you listed are cool. I think West Philly cool too.

Philly is a black city by population. Boston isn’t. It’s not a horrible place. But it’s very poor, poorer than Boston, and that shows more often than you’d like.

Cheaper, more Black ppl, closer to NYC

How can it be a downgrade?

I had a bad vibe about Boston. My girl got family out there and had to visit. I was really impressed. It's alot of black people out there. Alot of Dominicans and Cape Verdean. Food is good and everything is walkable.

So many restaurants bars to choose from and the weather is perfect in the summer. It not racist cuz so many young people who attend Harvard Boston U etc continue to live in the city and they aren't maga. Now if you in the suburbs you'll experience racism.

I went to Philly for a wedding last year and wasn't impressed. Ugly puerto rican chicks. City is dirty. Man the neighborhoods are really gutter. You can walk around downtown by the museums but outside of that philly is not impressive

I may be relocating from Boston to Philadelphia proper for work. I would be looking at apt or condo west Center City / Rittenhouse / Fitler Square.

Can any brehs speak on day to day life? Safety? Going out? Anyone live in both places?

Daps + reps for any good info :feedme:

I have a home in Elkins Park and rent a condo downtown so I can give you advice on that

However, if you’re weak-minded and/or don’t know anyone here, I suggest you don’t move here unless you just plan to go to work and come home
