In addition to any other factors, there wasn't a residential boom in Boston because urban living didn't become mainstream for many segments of the population until the late 1990s or well into the 2000s. There were still acres of subdivisions being developed in places like Franklin throughout the 90s. Enough gentrification then had to take place, and housing costs soar, to convince developers to take the plunge on construction outside of premium neighborhoods.
