I don't think there has been a time in the last 2 years where I wasn't accosted in some way in that area, I've probably been there like 10-15 times in that timeframe.

Define accosted? Being asked for spare change to being followed and threatened is a continuum.

Yeah, I guess it depends. I worked in that area for five years from 2018-2023 and the worst that’s happened to me on that street was being cat-called. Boston Police are usually monitoring all over that area, too. Just be smart and you shouldn’t have any problems.
