Districts

From Boston Neighborhood Map

Jump to: navigation, search

Many people refer to various areas in downtown Boston as districts (e.g. financial district). I find this an irritating convention for a variety of reasons:

  • Districts are incredibly tiny.
  • Districts are hard to define.
  • Districts often overlap both each other and existing neighborhoods.
  • Districts may exist in neighborhoods in Boston other than downtown.
  • Districts have names related to crafts or functions that are no longer carried out in them.

Therefore, I have left them off the Boston Neighborhoods Google Map. I have, however, created pages for them in this wiki so that interested persons can discuss and argue over them. Have fun.
