    Harvard Square Infill and Small Developments

    Looks like Bill and Ted’s Elevator just transported into Harvard square. The character of Harvard square is long gone. Way to corporate.

    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    That's $418,788 to the race horse development fund for the month. Would that mean that race horse development fund would bring an estimated 5 Million for the year? I wonder who is part of that group?

    There will be added value in those areas with transit but I don't believe affordability levels would ever come close to the upward movement prices like Boston. Do you think Springfield, Groveland, or Woonsocket would really triple in rents?

    I did read the article. We have many factors that have lead to the rise of gentrification in the cities but specifically in Boston there are 2 specifically that come to mind. *The local and state Govt's not protecting the land grab from the Universities in around the transit lines which drove...

    If public transportation displaces the poor and drives up rents then why wasn’t the inner cities of Boston and Cambridge gentrified in the 70’s thru 90’s. Roxbury crossing, Chinatown, Kendal square, porter square, Davis square, maverick station. There was no real interest living in these...

    If you build a expansion transit throughout the state from South, West, North, East and can reach the city in 5-10mins from most locations there is no reason why everybody needs to live in Somerville, Cambridge and Boston. This will create options for lower rents throughout the state...

    Transit does not discriminate. Right now our transportation in this state is very poorly funded and lacks great vision. This is very important to the business community to have an efficient service running throughout the state.

    If I could live in RI or Worcester paying $1000 a month in rent for 3 bedrooms vs paying $3000 in Boston along with having access to get to into Boston by transit 5-10mins. I would have no problem living in RI or Worcester with that type of accessibility.

    Why not offer transit solutions that are accessible to Cape Cod and Western Mass if you believe they will depopulate overtime? This will only help for housing affordability throughout the state. Massachusetts resources should be truly focused on transit solutions.

    Expansion and a much better version of our transit system would really go a long way to help bring down the affordable housing costs throughout the state.

    The luxury condos being built in the city are more geared for family living versus the old stock 2-3 family unit housing around the city that have become more "rando-roommate living".

    If the casino operation expenses are this high how can Wynn afford to cut a check to the state for gambling revenue if the casino cannot survive operational?
