For decades, Columbia Point was an isolated peninsula of Boston that failed to attract much in the way of new development, despite its location on a prime strip of waterfront overlooking Dorchester Bay.
But a burst of building activity now promises to transform many of the area’s stubbornly underused and vacant properties into new housing communities, retail stores, restaurants, and striking academic and cultural buildings.

The thing about Columbia point is that years ago the firemen would need police escort to go there because it was so bad. Then they spent big bucks on Harbor point a beautiful place but the idiots let the same trouble making people from the projects into them and now people again fear to go into the place its crawling with Crips and Bloods. You never see Mumbles over there he would need a armored vest.
One of the most beautiful views in Boston but it's filled with gang bangers and other assorted miscrients. Too bad.
