keep the car. people who say Boston is a walking city are delusional. the city is unwalkable for months out of the year just from weather alone. both winter and summer and unbearably cold/hot respectively. the transit system is falling apart and won't be fixed any time soon. grocery stores are also notoriously bad in new England. I go to 3 or 4 different stores just to get all my groceries and doing that on foot is awful since Boston is, like I said earlier, unwalkable most of the year.
