Look at that, they're showing a Hubway station in Burlington..

This area would be an excellent candidate for the new urbanist suburban retrofit experience. And not least because some kind of street grid has long been necessary to cut through the epic bottlenecks around here.

Looks like these folks are making gestures in that directions (e.g. sidewalks) but not much more than that

The whole site plan, from the Town of Burlington Planning Department.

More here, in the entry titled "The District (AKA New England Executive Park)", seventh entry down, as of today's date.

A dated relic, beholden to obsolete sensibilities, incapable of adapting to modern trends, hindered the Waltham brand with its backwardness... then there's the Route 128 complexes.

Wake up, Waltham electorate! You have nothing to lose but a fearmongering reactionary of a Mayor incapable of embracing a 21st-century planning/development mentality.

Higher property taxes?

Higher property taxes?

Perhaps you didn't READ the article, because you have it 100% backwards.

"........Many office buildings are now vacant, and their owners are asking Waltham for tax abatements. This year, the city raised its residential tax rate by 5 percent to account for lost revenue."

Seriously, you could not have produced a more WRONG statement if you tried.

True but that's because paywall.

I still have some faith in 128 CRE recovering somewhat once we have a recession.

Good!!!! Step aside, Mayor Jeanette McCarthy - Progress is coming through!

Waltham’s mayor vetoed 1,200 units of new housing. The City Council said to do it anyway. - The Boston Globe

The 15-member council voted overwhelmingly to override the veto and approve a special zoning district for a 135-acre stretch of office buildings off Winter Street, owned by BXP, the city’s largest taxpayer, formerly known as Boston Properties, that will enable redevelopment of the land.
