Public housing was installed in the area, as the harbor was formerly not a great place to live, due to the stink produced by the 280 million gallons of waste poured into the water daily. However, after the cleanup, these houses have become a good investment for those who bought them for a good price from the government and are now selling them for more than a million dollars!
In 1986, the non-profit organization "Save the Harbor" was founded (http://www.savetheharbor.org/)
Remember the lighthouse? One of the oldest in the US and still not fully mechanized, in order to keep "the charm" for visitors. Wasn't 1-4-3 the sequence to say "I love you"?
This is the view of the harbor in South Boston, what a splendid weather we enjoyed!
No wonder why real state has rocketed in the area, it is near downtown Boston, there is no high way in between any more and living by the sea is everyone's dream.
The economy was previously based on fishing and ship commerce, however now it has turned into a very turistic area with plenty of hotels and restaurants.
Can you imagine the old sore line near the customs home?!
