For real, you could buy an entire South End bowfront for $60-80k in 1993, methadone stoop-junkie included. That same bowfront won’t sell for less than $1 million now, at the low end. You might even still get the methadone junkie though if you’re on the BU Medical side of the South End...
I never got to go to college in Boston, but my brother lived in the Brighton student jungle in the early 2000s and it was still rough then.
