Boston accent is working class persons only.

There aren’t any working class in Boston anymore. Thanks to all the bourgeoisie and above

So whatever made Boston, Boston. Is dead, or dying.

But hey at least we have Whole Foods and barber shops that double as speakeasies….fucking gag

I read somewhere once that the strongest accents in ANY given regions--this is worldwide--are the folks who are in the DOMINANT culture.

​

So , for instance, the strongest accents in Southie would be white, working class folks of mostly Irish heritage--for example

I have definitely enjoyed a coworker I had 40+ years ago , a black guy who had a THICK regional Georgia accent too. Whst they call stuff is educational and I knew I wanted to learn more about his area, etc

Cool. Glad a few families are left. I’m not wrong though and if you aren’t worried about being priced out, you’re simply delusional

Not going to be priced out when you own the home and choose to stay bud.
