Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sure does look like there was more saddle "baggage" to the original render than the current.

Thanks, but I've been a CFP for 32+ years now. 4.5% annual distro rate for an endowment is standard conservative in ANY market (see boglehead link below)- - by that calculation at it's LOW of $26 billion in 2010 (not even the 28 quarter average as outlined below!), that would be $1.17 billion...

The NIMBY Magna Carta.

Damn......wasn't the goal set several years ago under under Walsh supposed to be 10K new net units per year.........:confused:

….which is why concert promoter Don Law, through his wife Sara Molyneux- chair of the CLF - is the puppeteer behind Mayor Wu opposing the soccer stadium.

As an aside: From that Insta: Samuel Francis Smith wrote the song "My country 'tis of thee"??????? Are we being just a tad loose with terminology , @streetscapecurator????? I love that Weird Al Yankovic wrote those famous songs, "Eat it" and "I lost on Jeapardy".

Alot less festive than the original:

"Harvard left a much, much bigger hole in the ground when it started construction of its new science and engineering building on Western Ave., then stopped it. The excavation was covered IIRC. The building complex was then re-designed, and built when Harvard could again afford it........"...

That 43 Stillman Street garage door entrance placement is ....... interesting. I wonder how many fender benders/horn beeping/arguments occur there each month.

I get what you're saying. It's the feeling I got in Fez, Morocco in the magnificent Suq there. Feeling of being lost on a different world and time. In places like that, an uninvaded canopy is particular. I still LOVE LOVE LOVE those two towers in the pic and wish Boston had more, but I...

It's been HUMANIZED.

St Pete and Pinellas County taxpayers paying $730 million (of $1.3 billion) for a 30,000 seat stadium for the Rays (With the Rays promising they won’t leave before 30 years). Thank you thank you thank you, Bob Kraft...

I haven't seen if its been addressed, but does anyone know when that 2 level public park there will be finally opened? I'm showing a guest around Boston in mid-September and would love to have this spectacular looking urban spot on our walks.

Milan population: 1.4 million metro 3.22 million https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan LA population: 3.9 million metro 13.2 million https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles Probably the same reason why the sad sack NY Jets are 20% more valuable than the almost always contending Green Bay...

So let me get this straight: CCBA would refuse to receive a shit-ton of money from a private developer who would then turn around and build on that site 12 MORE affordable units than what CCBA has there now for the community????? Talk about biting off one’s nose to spite one’s face. Why would...

Exactly. Let's take a look at this beauty: I would generously estimate 48 units (possibly 24-36) in this low concrete bunker. Why not allow a developer to build a tower to build a 30 story tower with 300 units, 20% of which are affordable? 60 affordable units is better than the 48 current...

The Boston (Everett) stadium is also the exception to those other cities - - it won't cost local taxpayers one red cent AND the developer will pay $100 million to decontaminate the riverfront site. This is a UNICORN. If the smokestack operator wants to do the same, I'm all ears..........

Your first 3 listed Boston teams are all originals in their sports or leagues. The New England NFL team has existed 65 years. The New England Revolution started in 1996 and plays the sport that is the FASTEST GROWING major sport in America - - and the most popular sport in the world. The...

Oakland is a ghetto. People are scared to go there. The A's were in Oakland.

You keep digging in the wrong direction. Boston is not Homer City and it is not Hershey, PA, nor is it Easton, PA, Eerie, PA or the other one listed in your list of glory. If you want to compete with them, God bless. Serious, how can I help you become the public face of the opposition to...
