And literally all of those cities are unaffordable so I guess yay patents and investments that doesn't actually flow down to the average person 🤷🏽‍♂️ "Honey what's for dinner? Patents, dear" Guess where all the investment money go? That's right, the C suites and the shareholders. Those...

Unfortunate that this is the last large skyscraper in the foreseeable future for Boston that contains a residential element to it while cities like Toronto are building what's probably equivalent to 2x to 3x the residential towers Boston built in this past cycle over the next few years. It's...

More like I'm not a Homer. Several folks here like to put down other cities' architecture because of their Boston = small city insecurities and I'm putting some objectivity here. The One Dalton is an average building. It wouldn't stick out if it was shortened. Several skyscrapers in the world...

Also the issue here isn't the width, it's the height to width ratio. Using google maps, the width of the State Street Tower at it's widest point looks to be about 260ft which is similar in width to the Wilshire Grand Center in LA. However, because the WGC's roof height is 900ft+, it looks well...

Also One Dalton really isn't a dime a dozen. LA has two of them in Century City 🤷‍♂️. It's just tall in a city that doesn't have a lot of tall buildings. The only towers of outstanding design and quality in Boston in the past 10 years are the new State Street Tower and the St Regis Residences...

"Section 8 Voucher Deadbeats." How much you want to bet a bunch of these "deadbeats" are immigrants who arrived in this country working 2 jobs? I grew up in these projects. A lot of my friends did. A lot of the kids end up working part time jobs to help their family. I can guarantee they worked...

It's possible that the cause isn't indifference but underdevelopment in critical thinking/inability to understand the "downstream" impact. As a manager, I'm often surprise at how many people do things or make changes without thinking about how the change can impact things downstream.

Like I said, a disingenuous article

As someone who gets to stay at MT twice a year, I can tell you none of the residents (and me) care. Let's just say, the roof impacts exactly 0% of their lives. They care more about the fact that management is no longer providing cups for their complimentary morning coffee in the lounge than they...

This entire thing lacks context. Which manager is working remote? If you're a senior manager on the finance team, this isn't a big deal. If you're a senior manager on the IT team, this isn't a big deal. As you all know, I am no fan of the MBTA, but the lack of nuance in this reporting makes this...

Sus

They are probably just assuming the site next door will eventually be developed so that it covers the blank wall

Have the Fed take over

It's an unlit version of the Bank of America Plaza in Dallas

I've traveled to all 3 cities you mentioned and apart from SF, NYC's MTA and Chicago's CTA is miles ahead of the MBTA. The idea that people would be "stoked" about having a public transit like the MBTA is such a YMMV, that declaring that has zero value. All I can say is, in the past year, the...

Bruh, what the heck are you talking about? At no point did I say Boston doesn't need tall buildings. I've only said suggested in this forum that basing the entire value of a tower to a city solely on height is stupid. Boston can build tall tower. If it doesn't hit 1000ft, fine. A lot of the...

This is the fallacy that seems to permeate a lot of members in Archboston. Just because a city has a large area does not mean it needs to use it up. For a group of anti-sprawl activists, y'all seem quick to criticize whenever a city decides not to build another suburban neighborhood by building...

I'm not projecting my own snark, rather I'm replying with snark because your post is clearly phrased to be snarky. But I'll answer your honest question. First, a supertall and an urban fabric is not mutually exclusive. Anyone telling you that is just plain lying. Second, there are people who...

Uh because there's demand for luxury high rise condos in a city that has been a rising tech hub and attracting talents from major cities along the east coast and silicon valley for the past decade? What kind of snarky question is this?
