    Hotel Buckminster Renovation | Brookline Ave & Beacon St | Kenmore Square (Fenway)

    Looks like the rooms and restaurant spaces are each taxed as individual commercial units. https://www.cityofboston.gov/assessing/search/?q=645+beacon

    Conley Terminal cranes arriving

    The first larger/newer generation ship(the Ever Fortune) is on the schedule for 1/12. Also marks the return of Evergreen after a twoish month hiatus. https://www.massport.com/conley-terminal/vessel-schedule/ Some info and pics of the ship itself...

    I’ve made it abundantly clear what I’m for - quality urbanism and an engaging street level experience. Go ahead and shit on that.

    How Tall Are Boston's Buildings and Should They Be Taller?

    Deep down, I think they know. The difference though is that your vision for Boston is not the vision shared by most Bostonians. You’re basically here trying to convince us we should all be Yankees fans.

    How Tall Are Boston's Buildings and Should They Be Taller?

    I think most of us know well enough to not emotionally invest in things that are totally out of our control and have no bearing on our own lives.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    At the expense of BA’s fourth daily frequency. It’s not the win you think it is. The previous BA/AA S22 schedule was perfection with the morning flight and four flights departing almost hourly in the evening and now we have the morning flight, AA and BA departing simultaneously at 7:15 and BA...

    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    Ye olde English proverb … “Beggars can’t be choosers.” This is a lateral move at best, trading one wasteland full of negative externalities for another.

    Random Real Estate Pics

    The one at FP3(346 Congress) is priced at $1017/psf so that would be spot on in my book. Only downside is that it’s a third floor unit and doesn’t seem to have a lot of natural light. The Columbus Ave unit comes in in the mid $1400s - better location but an awful layout - probably overpriced...

    The New Retail Thread

    On the other hand, a bank wouldn’t be tying up one of our precious liquor licenses.

    Platform screen doors.

    They’re running a special for new subscribers … one dollar for six months.

    In my case, the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds.

    11-21 Bromfield Street | DTX | Downtown

    Sudbury’s up to a whooping seven units in five months. Big numbers though, not far off One Dalton.

    Pearl Clutching near Section 8 homes.

    Perhaps not in retrospect but I was genuinely flabbergasted with what I was reading and kind of shooting from the hip.

    11-21 Bromfield Street | DTX | Downtown

    Not sure if you’re being facetious but 45 Province is largely owner occupied actually. I’ve heard around 60%. It’s not a particularly remarkable building - it doesn’t offer much in the way of amenities and the units are mostly small and/or awkward. Other than MT which had a large contingent...

    Pearl Clutching near Section 8 homes.

    Meanwhile you’re spending a big chunk of the work day posting on an internet forum(presumably leaving others to pick up your slack at work) complaining about building heights(which seems like an utterly absurd way to spend even a second of your time in light of what you’ve disclosed here) and...

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Because Boston isn’t simply a Thomas Sowell libertarian manifesto in city form. That’s the scale that the planning agencies felt was appropriate for the location(skyline “aesthetics” are not the be-all and end-all of urban planning in Boston). Why is this such a hard concept for you to grasp...

    Kenmore Square North (WHOOP) | 533-541 Commonwealth Ave | Fenway

    So it’s a front for a very profitable meth enterprise?

    2021 Boston Mayoral Race

    Funny thing is Wu isn’t the one who would need to come up with the dough for 300 more cops in what is already one of the most heavily policed cities in the country.

    2021 Boston Mayoral Race

    Mass Inc/WBUR poll shows Wu up 32 points(57-25) over AEG. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/10/13/metro/wu-holds-considerable-lead-over-essaibi-george-boston-mayoral-race-new-massinc-wbur-poll-shows/

    Raffles Boston (40 Trinity Place) | 426 Stuart Street | Back Bay

    Not really. Still ~50 unsold units at One Dalton. Only six or seven have closed at the Sudbury since May. Resales in lux/ultra-lux buildings are few and far between and often at a loss. Without the international investor demo that made MT these buildings are much tougher sells than you'd like to...
