I dont think it's a good project at all, but it's sad to hear that the Arboretum apparently was offered the option of expanding its footprint and declined—they probably could have gotten some sort of city and state support for such a purchase, which could have led to a much greener presence as you head toward Arborway. The hypocrisy stuff is unsurprising.

Rogerson House Redevelopment Project Receives Full Zoning Approval​

“At the beginning of June, Rogerson Communities received full zoning approval from the City of Boston for our Rogerson House redevelopment project in Jamaica Plain. This approval, granted unanimously by Boston’s Zoning Board of Appeals, caps off a two-year entitlements process involving multiple public meetings, design reviews, and stakeholder discussions.
