I can't see the Cape losing much, if any, population over the next few decades and beyond. It is a prime location, a beautiful area by the ocean and beaches, close to the major population centers of the northeast corridor. I'm just not seeing the depopulation scenario for this.

My concern is that fixating on preserving the smokestacks could ultimately stymy the project. It has been a tenuous and shaky path to get this far with this project, and I'd hate to see it get sidetracked at this point into a "study it to death" project-killing spiral. Let's try to move ahead...

"Social justice" is not a term I use lightly or often. Actually I am not a fan of political correctness or political platitudes. In the case of Everett, however, use of the term "social justice" in regards to development of this stadium is fully justified. I grew up poor, and it wasn't a...

The increased traffic is a valid concern. But that can be mitigated with the proper addition of bus transit infrastructure and a pedestrian bridge across the Mystic to the Assembly OL station. To me, the overriding justification for this project is social justice for the historically...

How about residential? It's a short walk to the GL.

Very grateful to MIT for preserving and repurposing many fine old industrial era buildings in the Kendall Square area. An outstanding service to our history and the community.

Cool! It will be a big win for active transportation (bikes and peds) across the Canal.

Yeah, a proposal to introduce noisy trucks next to an Arlington residential neighborhood might rouse some NIMBY ire.

Are these expressway-grade overhead sign gantries needed on an urban street in the city core? Makes it look too much like a highway.

Concrete exteriors don't seem to age very well in this climate. The right color of paint applied to old concrete does wonders, such as the treatment done to the remnant of the GC Garage, next to the new State Street HQ tower (photo courtesy of lynqueezy):

That concept has been the holy grail of a bunch of us here on archBoston for seemingly decades. A 2015 study was done by MassDOT to add on/off ramps to the Mass Pike at Charlesgate and elsewhere to make it into a viable replacement for Storrow Drive. Here's one ramp addition concept out of...

Nice looking complex, but the one thing bothering me is the apparent lack of greenery and open space in the new complex compared to the old housing project (anecdotally based on the above photo). After all, there are families with kids who will reside in many of these new units. Hopefully...

After seeing what's going up at Suffolk Downs, these don't look so bad.

Looking like a real city!

I wish the Suffolk Downs new apartments had this quality.

Soviet apartment blocks with a splash of color added.

The small cities/large towns of the mid-Atlantic area (Pennsylvania/Maryland/Delaware/eastern West Virginia) are my favorite places in the US. I went to that entire area in late May and absolutely loved it.

I vote to make these closures and restrictions permanent.

That would be the bike lane. 😎

What kind of transformation would you do?
