Gonna lock this for a little bit to cool you fools down.

Boston (and Bostonians) have always compared themselves to NYC. It's stupid. They are two different places (with a lot in common). But especially the penis envy has to stop.

Checking out OpenRailwayMap, it also seems like the simplest solution is to just run off the Downeaster route, or if we are getting crazy, extend the Haverhill Line (or some version using the Lowell Line).

I'm not thinking about commuters, I'm thinking about the tourists! Portsmouth was hopping. It's right next to Maine as well, so there'd surely be demand.

I was just up in Portsmouth for the first time in almost 20 years and I began to wonder why, specifically, the Newburyport Line hasn't been extended up there yet?

That looks really nice and will anchor that edge of the Common nicely.

That massing isn't bad, but those buildings have ZERO character and will bring nothing to that space.

I think you and I have very different definitions of what a "dump" is.

Clean energy... at an office park you need to drive to.

I appreciate good cable/conduit management.

See, you can beat NIMBYs. You just have to wait for them to die. The stated reason was traffic. Arlington didn't want the Red Line to end in the town, meaning that more people would be driving through. If the RL was extended to Lexington and Rt 128, less traffic. Also, the station in Arlington...

That fun little conversation about DZ's pictures has been moved here. I suggest that if you don't appreciate someone's posts, feel free to ignore them.

I mean, I think it's a great building for sure. But that is still one of the worst public spaces in the city.

If we still did the archBoston awards I'd nominate this for Best New Development.

You can literally make the same argument about land preserves, forests, and large parks. It's a strawman argument that just ends up sounding classist. Fight against capped FAR limits next to transit stations, not this.

I see this all the time. Just an owner who isn't taking care of his property.

Going after golf courses is one of the most eye rolling "hills to die on" for Twitter YIMBYs. If they sell the land, redevelop it. But we have these things called stairs and elevators to solve our housing crisis.

WOW.

That headline is terrible.

Do we actually know this is about contamination? Or is it simply the perceived backlash from environmental groups?
