Wouldn't be surprised if TRV reserves more space for forthcoming companies...

Ah yes, civic space like a police or fire station, neither of which the city wants or needs there. Maybe let the experts place civic functions where they should be?

Horticultural hall is apparently sinking notably. My wife worked at the MFA and would go to the library there....

This one is coming out unlovely.

What hampers DTX is the inability to build dense, modern buildings on many sites like One Bromfield and the Lafayette City Center. I do not see a reason why DTX should be "planned" - it's on top of the central subway node of the region and clearly attracts enormous office and restaurant demand...

I agree that diversity is best - but it's the market that produces that diversity in buildings - and market signals are favoring additional lobby spaces open to the public. I think that's a good step.

That Times article was ridiculous hysteria. The idea that any city should privilege private cars over delivery vehicles serving many is nuts. Hierarchical distribution systems are efficient - that's why we use them for electricity and all of our other utilities. Just as not everyone has their...

There are already several biotechs in Fenway. Notably in the Optum building. The VCs are almost all on Newbury St.
