Like half the plot is covered by "gardens". This isn't some pastoral suburb--build more housing there!

By what metrics? I'm genuinely curious--every time I've been to High Street Place it seemed well-frequented, and the offerings and seating there are quite good.

Good post, but I'll chime in and throw out a few other locations in Boston proper where (anecdotally) I see a lot of people cycling: 1) Charles River bike path 2) Southwest Corridor 3) Commonwealth Avenue in Allston from Packards Corner to Kenmore, including the BU Bridge 4) Franklin Street in...

IIRC Allston Green proposed this kind of height not too far from here, but eventually it got chopped to 8-9 stories. That development also still seems to be in limbo.

beautiful building but bummer the sidewalk in front is so dirty!

Very cool! Are those apartments or condos?

Just FYI--there's a design review meeting hosted by MIT for this project on 9/20 at 6:30 PM.

Good write up on the new Norse Atlantic service from Logan to Gatwick: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/09/07/lifestyle/boston-has-new-low-cost-airline-we-put-its-bargain-london-flight-test/
