Boston/Charlestown is undoubtedly Democrat. However, they are slightly more rational regarding crime than here in Austin. Also, the property taxes are less in Boston than in Austin.
Whitey Bulger was still a citizen of Summerville back then. Him and his Winter Hill buddies controlled Southie.
A buddy of mine took the job instead. He lived in an apartment in Malden, MA.
Now, Charlestown is full of yuppies. Just like Southie.
