    Quabbin & MWRA Water & Sewer

    Water in Cambridge doesn't taste nearly as good as water in Boston. I'm happy to pay more for that.

    Site Issues

    It seems pretty clear that @SkyriseCities pays very little if any attention to this site.

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    I don't completely disagree with this, but Moulton didn't do what it took to become a plausible alternative. Being the right age as the main qualification doesn't make him the right choice. But then, he really gave us very little other than that as a basis for selection.

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    Moulton didn't try to make that the point of his age complaint, though. He didn't run on the message that he could only beat a Republican as an incumbent. And honestly, what politician in their right mind would stake out that position? Also, subsequent to 2010, the MA GOP has become heavily in...

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    The city can brand it that way if they want to do so, but it is not a park, nor has it ever been one. Sorry that you are allowing a word spoken by somebody else to define the space, despite the evidence before our very eyes.

    Site Issues

    Mostly working well today for me, though this morning there were some pages that failed to load. The images are still taking some time, but the overall page loads quickly. Some sort of acknowledgement or messaging from skylinecities would be nice.

    Site Issues

    Working slowly for me at the moment, but this is the first time I've been able tor each the page at all since maybe Wednesday.

    Andrew Square

    It depends on the design, but this one looks like it would slow car traffic enough, that I'd feel very comfortable riding my bike through it.

    Fantasy T maps

    As a rider, I'd be pretty okay to just go catch the next train at my local station, then make a downtown transfer if the destination isn't the one that I need. Keep in mind, the vast majority of trips will involve the terminal zone as one of the destination pairs. It really wouldn't matter to me...

    Massachusetts State Flag (we need a better state flag)

    I'm a fan of number 3, which really evokes the state's relationship with the ocean.

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    I was a regular at the Souper Salad in those days, and also enjoyed walking through the "mall" between Arlington and Berkeley as part of my regular commute.

    Hyde Park Infill and Small Developments

    So instead of building space to house human beings, we are building space to house the belongings of people who already have housing, did I get this right?

    Roslindale Infill and Small Developments

    I was under the impression that this sort of thing could now be done as of right under the most recent Roslindale zoning update, but maybe this spot is off the map, so to speak, on the residential areas now zoned for four units. Regardless, I'm glad this was approved, there is no need for such a...

    Fenway Center (One Kenmore) | Turnpike Parcel 7, Beacon Street | Fenway

    I get the impulse to refer to it in that way, but this is really significantly different, mostly in favorable ways. Unlike the hole, this is now a ready to build parcel. It covers a scar, rather than having created one. It could potentially become a temporary plaza, rather than a dangerous...

    Greenway Residential Building | 55 India Street | Downtown

    It also works with the view corridors, effortlessly tying together the various adjacent buildings in each direction. This is really well designed. Not everything needs to be a tower, and I think this is the right height for the location.
