    2021 Boston Mayoral Race

    I realize that a lot of people who post here don’t live in Boston and don’t have particularly solid grasps on neighborhoods outside of the immediate urban core but there is no city behind this parcel to obscure so spare us the bullshit and gaslighting. This project would have been a catalyst...

    2021 Boston Mayoral Race

    I moved back. What brought me to London didn’t work out unfortunately. Do you really think I would be wasting my time reading this board and commenting to some goofus height fetishist if I still was in London? You made my point though. You didn’t like the proportions so your reaction was to...

    2021 Boston Mayoral Race

    Abuse of power? By whose definition, other than yours? She was an elected city councilor, council president, and by the charter of the City of Boston, the duly appointed mayor. Stop pretending you care about the city and just admit that it’s all about skyscrapers and the skyline. Here’s...

    2021 Boston Mayoral Race

    There’s more to elections(and life) than skyscrapers and skylines. Most voters couldn’t give two shits about this kind of stuff.

    Wellesley Developments

    Regardless of what the SJWs and armchair policy experts have to say and even acknowledging that maybe more could have been done to better integrate this segment of the population into the community I’m sure that those who’ll benefit from the 40B program will be delighted to live in a modern...

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    I can tolerate it with marquee locally based companies like State Street and BCG but do we really need all sorts of tacky signage for every company that has even a modest operation here?

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Must be a problem with your system. Works fine for me.

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    Could also have been taken from the Adams Elementary School, assuming it had been built at the time. Here’s the building on the lower right edge now. https://goo.gl/maps/6LMxRfzMjeUGfcWd6

    Echelon Seaport | 133-135 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    I think we’re all aware by now that you lived in Hudson Yards. I’m sorry that you seem to think I’d be impressed by that though. Wake me up when you own in a cash only co-op on Fifth or overlooking the park. The high end(“fancy Bosch appliances”) begins at $4-4.5k but the best of the...

    Echelon Seaport | 133-135 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    Two free months though so NER is ~$2750/$2900-4300. The real top tier stuff in Manhattan starts around $6k.

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    What a depressing thought. I never thought I’d wish I had gone to the movies more often.

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    It’s a mistake. Also in that picture are The Devonshire completed in 1983 and Exchange Place in 1984.

    East Boston Infill and Small Developments

    229 Maverick. That really should have been a tear down.

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

    I’m going to go with “didn’t care”considering that quality design has been the exception rather than the rule over the last several years. As long as the money kept flowing into the pockets of Marty’s favored constituency I don’t think it mattered much what the finished product looked like.

    Post-COVID Urbanism Discussion

    Every development enthusiast’s favorite refrain but I’m afraid we do have a pretty good idea where things are going. Even if we were to miraculously get offices back to pre-pandemic staffing levels and occupancy rates there’s still probably more inventory in the pipeline than the market can...

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    A lack of demand for straight office space primarily. Wasn’t that kind of obvious? MOD EDIT: Tangent replies moved here.

    Pinnacle at Central Wharf (Harbor Garage) | 70 East India Row | Waterfront | Downtown

    Watching people lose their shit over something that was never actually going to get built will be thoroughly amusing.

    Marine Industrial Park | Seaport

    Everywhere else in Boston ... law firms, consultancies and money managers ... almost all of these jobs could be done from office parks in the burbs(and people’s living rooms and basements). The argument that these industrial and maritime jobs can be performed elsewhere is an odd one to be...
