I understand not wanting it to shadow over East Cambridge, but if it's already tapered down in that direction, why else would they want to reduce the heights further?

Didn't know about this, apparently they're rehabbing the old Red Cross building as well: http://capitalprojects.mit.edu/projects/139-main-street

This looks good. Nothing special, IMO, but solidly fine.

IMO it should branch to a Belmont-Watertown-Waltham line and an Arlington-Lexington-Burlington line.

Maybe the music building should get its own thread. It is being designed by Pritzker prize winning architects Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa at SANAA Tokyo. http://capitalprojects.mit.edu/projects/music-building

If there's one company I'm most excited about these days, it's Signage.

Not at all. Density of tech talent is very important. Look at Kendall Square. Look at Silicon Valley. The thing about NY is that it's HUGE. It's 18 million people. I'd bet NYC has more tech jobs than San Jose. But which is the tech capital? EDIT...

NY is only competitive with Boston in raw numbers for tech. Per capita, Boston has all other east-coast cities surpassed

We already have Eastgate, Watermark East, Watermark West, East Campus, Senior House, 100 Memorial, 3rd Square, and two hotels all right in this little area, and now we have Proto. That's gotta be over 2,000 people. People live here, and even more people work here. I don't think the problem is...

Because literally, the entire quick food options in the area include: B.Good Chipotle Clover Dumpling Daughter Cava Au Bon Pain Bailey and Sage Sebastians and those last two close early. Meanwhile we just keep adding coffe-shop after coffee-shop and it is not even clear there is demand for...

Vester and Starbucks RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET are not enough? *rolls eyes as hard as possible* Plus there is ANOTHER Starbucks in the Mariott down the street.

lol, once more, with feeling

Complete development moratorium?? I've been living here for 6 years and there has been no moratorium in that time.
