There is a massive housing issue in Boston. The state is now incentivizing owners of commercial properties to convert them to residential now that so many people work from home.



Boston suffers for the same thing New Orleans and San Francisco do.

Historic housing and buildings are worth keeping but no land left to build up on.

Boston and SF have jobs too which only drives the price. New Orleans would be insanely expensive if it wasn't such a shithole

Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, etc benefit from not holding any romance to their architecture

I feel you there, but these cities are flat running out of options. There's simply no more clear space in Dallas, so the best they can do is buy up and try to clear up old neighborhoods and cram them full of high density options which makes the area awful. Probably similar in Houston and Atlanta.
