I love Allston as much as the next person, but I think this picture says it all. I really don't miss living there. Going out there - fine. But passing through the other day, I realized how nice it is to live on a street where there is no trash / barf / homeless people hanging out all the time. Also we have a nice patch of grass. Also I have yet to see a rat! And I can easily park my car. I do miss that half unearthed tree stump with the trash underneath it. I quite enjoyed seeing what treasures had been left each day. It kind of reminds me of that "leave one, take one" blanket at Camp Bisco IV that had a pair of underwear and half a grilled cheese sandwich on it.
