Swampscott is closer than I remember these days...

6% increase in my rent last year, 33% increase since 2020, and this year I'm moving out. The rent my landlord just posted it for is a 19% increase from my current payment. And it's not even that nice..

They managed to paint over the graffiti that was there for several years, but didn't clean up the entrance a bit for the grand opening... interesting..

I think my username tells you that I'm aware of that... But I will mention, the data science tower was not cheap. And Pardee will be by a name architect.

I think the best phase of this project is with the scaffolding up (not the first time this is being said in this thread). Kinda wish we had more High Tech Architecture/Richard Rogers/Renzo Piano here..

That's poorly rendered red-brown brick in a vertical stack bond.

When this was implemented, that was alluded to. IIRC, based on their streets capital planning GIS map, I think it's part of the Broadway reconstruction scope, which was programmed at one point, but there hasn't been an update on that in a few years.

And for the better, even if you can't get to the park in the rotary anymore: Before: After:

I'm confused by the use of the word "pause" here. Copper Mill told the general public a month ago that they would have updated designs in a month to present. Here we are, and here they are presenting updated designs tonight... what exactly is paused? Also... We are incapable of building...

I'm looking in the same area for 8/1. 7/1 rentals are popping up now on Zillow and Craigslist, which are still the two most popular. You're probably fine for another month. After 6/1 may be tight. You're likely dealing with a broker one way or the other. The recent law made it so that tenants...

Man, $1.2M/unit... Would be interested in seeing how this pencils..

I wonder what kind of agreement BS&G has on Service Road. If it's a public road that they're using without any sort of agreement, I don't think they have any ground here. If they do have an agreement, it's perplexing the project got this far along and included as many crosswalks...

Why aren't they using any trenchless methods around the tracks? Should be much less disruptive.

Something like 10/500,000 college athletes.. Such a strange topic to hang on to, especially if you think about it for more than 60 seconds, if we're talking about having a nuanced position... Every time this discussion is brought up we gravitate more toward an environment of fear for all women...

Some additional helpful context is that only projects in that list that are marked with an asterisk received new or additional funding, to be distributed this fiscal year, to be expended the next 5 fiscal years.
