"South Boston", is a mainly white neighborhood in Boston just south-west of downtown. Although many will claim Southie is going through much positive change and isn't the rough neighborhood it used to be, it's still not the ideal neighborhood to just randomly move to and I'm sure many of the yuppie young professionals will figure that out soon enough. The lower end (West Side) still has some of the roughest projects in Boston and the Irish Mob has shown signs of potential return. Therefore, if you grew up in the suburbs with no connections in Southie, I wouldn't recommend just moving here.
Yuppie #1: Hey we should look into Southie, it's really up and coming
Yuppie #2: Up and coming is tentative, it's still a fairly rough neighborhood
