From the time I started at Northeastern, I have moved apartments every year. With the ridiculously high housing costs around the area, I am always searching for a better deal. Because of this, I have been downgrading my location every year. Today, I live very close to Roxbury, so close that when I am buying something online, they suggest to change the mailing address from Boston to Roxbury Crossing. Occasionally, I hear gunshots.

Surprisingly, the site is averaging around 35 hits per day!
