I know but it feels like it’s not in Boston. For example, it has been difficult to keep up with my friends in the city because it takes about 45 min to drive in when traffic is heavy.

I don’t know why people are getting on you for wanting to live closer to town. This gatekeeping obsession is weird.

Rozzy isn't Boston, neither is WR. Let's be honest.

Especially because it is extremely easy to take the WR Parkway to Jway right into Boston after 5PM from Rozzi, W Rox and certain areas of HP.

I will say though, Dorchester is much more urban than WR,Rozzi and HP IMO.

Downvote me all you want, but culturally, they are much different than other parts of Boston. Be honest with yourselves.

Just because people move to Queens to afford a single-family home in NYC doesn't make Queens less NYC. Same goes for West Roxbury and Hyde Park.
