Thanks for the tips!

Quick question, I am looking to bike into the downtown area, maybe somewhere along Charles St near MGA and lock my bike up so I can go do some exploring. Am curious if I should be worried about anyone trying to cut the lock, steel the front wheel, or otherwise vandalize the bike. It's an...

Judging from how it measures up to the similar in height Millennium tower, this one appears to still have a ways to go before topping off.

Thx!

Does anyone know how tall the structure is now? Guessing it has to be over 400' at this point.

Funny how Winthrop looks shorter in that pic when its supposed to be a few feet higher than Millennium.

How many floors are they putting up per week at this point?

Looks like this one is just a few more floors away from really starting to show up on the skyline.

Personally, I would be happy if there was just one say 900+ footer to break up the skyline and give it just a little more pop.

The situation at Saint John is completely different than at Boston. The CPRS has no Atlantic Port presence other than at Saint John (indirectly through the Irving Railroads), so that was their only option for developing business with the shipping lines. CSX and NS, who would be the potential...

Unless they build an inland canal that can handle ocean going tankers and bulk vessels, the scrap company, cement company, tank farms, etc aren't going anywhere as they are all either import or export facilities that require water access.

For the 11th time, AGAIN, please show me where I ever said anything about people not deserving immediate housing. Until you can site one example, you are arguing with a ghost. Furthermore, who said anything about rich vs poor people, I know plenty of rich people that have ended up on the...

For the 10th time, please show me where I said that homeless people don't deserve to be sheltered; you either can't read or are putting words in my mouth. My point all along is that if you give housing to someone who is severely addicted, or has severe mental illness that you may see around...

Please show me where I stated that I didn't want these people being provided with housing/shelter? My true interest lies in actually trying to give these people hope, a future and a chance to rejoin society instead of just shoveling them off into housing so that we can feel better about our new...

It is a proven fact that the vast majority of people you see living on the streets under THOSE conditions made not one, but many poor lifestyle choices before ending up in their predicament. The people you are referring to who ran into some bad luck or financial woes, who are actually trying to...

Getting these folks out of the elements and into stable housing/shelter is clearly the humane thing to do and part of the solution, but as I stated, housing alone will not solve the problem. Without serious counseling, treatment and support, you are merely moving the same lifestyle issues out...

Yes, the key really is treating mental health and substance abuse issues as well as education and job training. Housing alone is not the answer.

Have they started building up again or are they still working on the transitional floor?

A big part of the reason why Boston's population is so low is because the city limits are so close to the central core. If Boston redrew it's border out to 495 or beyond, then you'd be talking about 4-5 million people. For instance, Boston is probably more densely packed and urbanized than...

Could it end up being less than 600' with the downsizing?
