More than regrettable, it's a piece of shit, a slabby version of that turd on Mass and Main. If you are gonna say "fuck you" by building another luxury tower at least give us something to look at rather than say "double fuck you" in the form of another value engineered piece of crap designed for...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End I think I'm going to start canvassing that building to try and get them organized to resist any sort of redevelopment/displacement plan. This is my new mission in life, to preserve 65 Martha - a wonderful...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End What I find disgusting about odurandina's comments is that many people living in 65 Martha are on Section 8, and many of them are elderly and/or disabled and the kinds of people who would get displaced out of the city...

Re: Mass + Main | 415 Massachusetts Avenue | Cambridge

man, even the alcoholic bums are being priced out of this neighborhood by classier alcoholic bums.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett Who needs a study when you have Ben Affleck and Hollywood showing us that Everett is clearly a bunch of boarded up crack homes with murdered abducted kids inside!

Seeing this go up makes me wish they could get something built on the church/carwash lot and redevelop that annoying speedway lot. That would bridge the gap nicely to the Henderson Carriage building and create a very impressive streetwall on Mass Ave all the way from Porter Sq to the two big...

I'm not saying it isn't interesting to see, just unsettling. I think it's because those building are such landmarks and feel like they've always been there, long before I was born or aware. This differs from seeing something that I saw get built because I got to see the subtle progress. When you...

is it just me or does anybody else get an unsettling feeling in their stomach when they see an iconic building like the Fed or the Hancock Tower in a state of being constructed? I can't really explain it because I love seeing pictures of big stuff that recently went up like MT.

Some of the rent increases are here now according to my facebook feed. They generally range from 500$-1000$ a month. One place went up 2000$ because they turned the common area into a "bedroom" and classified it as 4BR rather than 3.

This is true but only from certain angles, such as Memorial Drive in Cambridge. WTC dominates lower Manhattan from everywhere due to it's overwhelming height. There are numerous angles of downtown Boston where MT is practically a non factor.

I wouldn't really call that "crap lighting". Maybe not the most photogenic but it's the sun, what are you going to do? I can't help but feel as if that project really slipped under the radar though. I followed Union Sq developments closely starting a couple years back and feel very much in the...

What a dumbass. If he's going to justify price gouging by citing a nearby high paying industry he can at least pick the right one - the 85 bus goes right from these apartments to tech jobs in Kendall Square. Somebody with a high paying job in the financial district would be better off living on...
