What's the reason for such an explosion of parking? Also that Whole Foods lot has got to be short for this world, right? There are rebuilds planned for half the stop & shops and star markets in medford/cambridge/somerville to be mixed use.

While that design for Block 9 doesn't do much for me - it just seems to be anti-street engagement - I did like this graphic. It will be interesting to see if Block 7ABC or Block 9 comes first. The giant pickleball + concerts + beer garden I hope has been a big success and becomes a permanent...

A park with outdoor ping pong and a single basketball hoop? Yes, they need input.

The official line - on pause:

Ignore the "1 bridge is enough" nonsense trolling. If anything - the Cape is finally starting to wake up and act recognizing that making transit reliable and actually comfortable creates ridership. Bigger TOD planned districts will also help the local workforce. Eastham...

Ditto - I had to get an oil tank replaced for $5500, or dump the system and go for heat pumps for $11k after rebates. Heat pumps were an easy choice over oil or gas. We did the whole-home replacement last year for H2i cold climate system. The -20 day this winter only got the house down to 66...

Not sure where this goes... should we break off a "Community Path" thread?

There is a lot of opportunity here for both Home Depot and additional development. Part of the parking lot along Revolution Drive, and the whole Circuit City property could easily be repurposed without impacting HD operations too badly. I'm still surprised the light industrial triangle just...
