Boston has the same thing on August 1st. Fun times.

  Allston Christmas is more like the week before September first. With a guaranteed UHaul on Storrow that got its roof torn off.

    Best part of Sep 1st is the vids of moving trucks getting can-opened on Storrow Drive.

    That looks to me as though dropping the road 10" would solve the problem nicely.
    • dsr_ 8y ago
      That would let people drive trucks on Storrow, and they aren't supposed to do that. It gets enough traffic as it is/

  Hmm I thought moving day in Boston is Sep 1?
  • extra88 8y ago
    Yes, it’s Sep 1 because of all the university students starting school around then. I’ve heard that 80% of available rentals are for a Sep 1 move-in.

    confirmed, sept 1. did it twice. i am a legend at moving as a result.
• dudul 8y ago
  You mean September 1st right? June 1st is also a big moving day.
• cwmma 8y ago
  your thinking of Alston Christmas which is September 1. Every lease I had in Somerville, Medford, Cambridge, and Quincy all were for September 1.

  Yup. The effect of 15% of the city’s population being students works it’s way to all corners of the real estate market here. I currently live in an apartment building that contains 0% students and is pretty squarely out of reach of most students price-wise - nonetheless, property owners here are conditioned to turn everything over on 9/1 at all costs.
