Heard. I'm still curious about this, though. I live around the area, and the sea of pavement that is MA-38, I-93, and their on/offramps between Assembly and East Somerville is awful as a pededtrian and cyclist. At least the highway has a ped tunnel under it; the on-ramps just have crosswalks...

I understand that I-93 couldn't be depressed where it's adjacent to the Mystic (without a deep bore tunnel I imagine), but does that preclude depressing the stretch roughtly between the 28/38 junction and the Zakim? That sounds valuable, esp. given all the development planned in Assembly, Inner...

Alright, I think we have beaten the sports/demographics debate to death :)

When you say it like that, I agree with you. I got $38k (and then misquoted it as $36k, my b) from Google Data Commons as the 2020 median. I'm clicking around there now and can't figure out how they calculated that. Should've known better and gone straight to the census. Yeah we've strayed...

Median Boston income is $36k. Top employment sector is healthcare and social services, not tech. Half of 25+ year olds don't have a Bachelor's degree. 1 in 6 residents are poor. Look, Boston is super gentrified, nobody is denying that. But working class people still live here, alongside all us...

I'm skeptical of that statistic. Average what? Average as in, what StubHub is trying to sell them for? Or average as in (total price paid by fans) / (seats in the stadium) for a regular season game? Keep in mind that SH wants you to think that everybody is paying a lot. Plus, any average will...

You have quite a lot of confidence in this. Source? Unfortunately, I can't find any hard numbers on the demographics of people at Sox/Bruins/Celtics games, but anecdotally I'll say that the inbound green line is consistently mobbed after games at Fenway. Aside from some percentage of those...

Eh, comparisons of municipal boundaries are fraught. Worcester's boundaries include its entire urbanized area. Providence's urbanized area (by my nonscientific inspection of satellite imagery) would include several adjacent cities: North Prov, East Prov, Pawtucket, Central Falls, and Cranston...

I would kinda hope that any Green Line Reconfiguration involves some amount of rebranding, e.g. calling part of it "Magenta". Just the other day I helped two separate groups of tourists who had found themselves on the wrong Green Line train. They were having a hard time understanding that they...
