Hello Everyone,
FYI
From the new BRA website dedicated to their latest "re-branding/identity" project :
"This collaboration between the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) and Continuum, a global innovation design consultancy, is about much more than a PR facelift. The BRA, a planning and economic development agency, has partnered with Continuum to refocus on why it exists, who it serves, and what it is trying to accomplish.
A meaningful new direction for the BRA will be based on deep learning, coming from conversations with BRA employees and the larger Boston community (residents, the media, developers, architects, designers, and other government agencies). The needs and aspirations of these stakeholders will form the substance behind a new identity for the BRA, and our team will use these insights to help the BRA deliver on the promise that this new identity represents.
This site is a venue to share our progress and get your feedback. It’s not a new website for the BRA, but a manifestation of this project and part of a larger effort to bring meaning to the concept of transparency."

To determine America’s worst cities to live in, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed data on the 550 U.S. cities with populations of 65,000 or more as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau. Based on a range of variables, including crime rates, employment growth, access to restaurants and attractions, educational attainment, and housing affordability, 24/7 Wall St. identified America’s 50 worst cities to live in.
47. Boston
Population: 656,051
Median home value:

Poverty rate:

Pct. with at least a bachelor’s degree:
46.5%
While not nearly as large as New York City or Los Angeles, Boston is one of the nation’s largest cities. With some of the world’s largest research institutions and universities, which attract top talent from around the world, the city’s population is also very well educated. Close to half of Boston adults have at least a bachelor’s degree, one of the highest college attainment rates of any U.S. city. Despite the high level of education, incomes in Boston are relatively low, especially when the cost of living -- including housing -- is taken into account. The area's median household income of $56,902 a year is only slightly higher than the national median income. Housing, however, is much more expensive. So while the typical home value nationwide is equal to 3.4 times the median income nationwide, housing costs in Boston are 7.3 times the area's median income -- one of the least affordable housing markets in the country.
Many of those working in the city’s high paying jobs likely live in Boston’s more prosperous, surrounding suburban areas such as Brookline and Cambridge.
