    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    Eversource is already in active conversation with Jupiter on building the battery farm. This is a strategic move and not the worst from a grid reliability standpoint. Still sucks to give up waterfront property, but the site isn't a bad investment for a utility in transition. As an IOU in a...

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    The more I look at this the more I hate it. The bridge is on the wrong side to interact with the square, there is NO effort to create a "neighborhood center," there is zero depth to the buildings, and the courtyards FACE the ROW which is already deflecting both commuter+GL noise directly at...

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    First I'm seeing of a model, and it's wholly unimpressive. There is an enormous school on a hill directly across the tracks. This should easily be 10+ stories against the ROW, stepped down to the street wall. There's nothing to obstruct!

    Revere Infill and Small Developments

    Water's Edge is in the news again... ‘Nowhere to go': Tenants must move out of condemned Revere high-rise There are 40 occupied units inside the Water's Edge apartment building. City officials condemned the building last week, saying the fire protection system doesn't work and numerous code...

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    I was thinking the same. Makes me think that it's not really soccer they're sizing for, it's concerts. It fits right between 17000 at the Garden and 37,000 at Fenway. Can fit a lot of concerts in a year between games

    Cape Cod Rail, Bridges and Highways

    Depopulation? Proven wrong. Traffic non-existent most of the year? Proven wrong. WFH not lasting or being a driving reason for the population MOVING TO the cape? Proven wrong Haha pretty bold to call others "Karen" - aren't they the ones who make a fuss using completely unsubstantiated and...

    North End Cross Street Boutique Hotel | 42 Cross Street | North End

    I'm half with you - this is a capstone project to the entrance to the North End - vastly improving this section where the some of the last rotten vestiges of the elevated highway shadow remained. There's no land or appetite that makes this gateway hotel a Gateway drug.

    Potential Exelon Mystic Station Redevelopment | Everett

    I sorrrrt of agree with you both, but it's not like this ramp (OLD 28- now exist 20) is short.1800+feet of 2-lane traffic. Without increasing the thruput of Sullivan AND lower broadway I'm not sure how you fix this. It's why the flyovers never worked either.

    Cape Cod Rail, Bridges and Highways

    Not under 35 (but under 55), and now a primarily Cape resident who also works quite a bit in Boston. Also I like data sources. Check out https://datacapecod.org/ Population - not insignificant, and full-time residents have a tough time between the economic necessity of tourists and their...

    Wakefield Developments

    Thinking this property is a bit better use of the lakefront than the old Comverse turd.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Wait I'm behind... is that a fake arch filling in between real arches?

    Cambridge Crossing (NorthPoint) | East Cambridge/Charlestown | Cambridge/Boston

    Perhaps a statue - the MOS campaign has stalled so it would be great here! https://donate.mos.org/campaign/leonard-nimoy-memorial/c329955
