    Wentworth Mixed-Use Life Sciences Complex | 500 Huntington Ave | Fenway

    This is like telling someone who’s dying of thirst that they need to stop eating so much.

    Maybe more like removing an exit from a highway?

    Reykjavik - Holy Cow!

    I did actually take pictures in a more residential neighborhood on the outskirts of downtown of the coolest tree house I’d ever seen!

    NYC Architecture and Development

    This is exactly what I thought when I saw the render!

    It didn’t actually say anything though. And increasing home prices doesn’t necessarily equate to “growth”.

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    I mean, it’s a matter of fact that housing prices in the area now are much higher relative to the median income than they’ve been for at least a century. Perhaps since 1630. It’s the opposite, actually. Everett, Somerville, etc. are doing they’re best to solve it, but it’s harder to jam more...

    Ah, yes. Aesthetics...

    But the article says the deconstruction of the viaduct could happen in parallel with the construction of the new turnpike design. I think I’m on the side of not kicking the can further down the road.

    Wentworth Mixed-Use Life Sciences Complex | 500 Huntington Ave | Fenway

    Yeah, added the second option of an ultra-lux high rise. Either way, it wouldn’t take any weight off Everett’s shoulders.

    Wentworth Mixed-Use Life Sciences Complex | 500 Huntington Ave | Fenway

    If this were housing, it’d be dorms for Wentworth students or luxury. Not quite the same as the 5/1s going up in Everett.

    One Mystic | 1 Mystic Avenue | Charlestown

    I really dislike the beige-and-brown cross-stitch look. Both on the proposal and on this completed one.

    City Hall Plaza Revamp | Government Center

    Fairgrounds are generally good additions to cities, but they’re never located right in the city center specifically because they aren’t used year-round.

    One Mystic | 1 Mystic Avenue | Charlestown

    Does this count as a spite house now?

    Correlation, not causation. I believe it’s widely accepted that the decrease in crime in Boston had everything to do with new health and safety initiatives created at that time such as the one described in the link below: https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/188741.pdf ^No mention at all of the...

    So you honestly think the average renter in Boston pays a smaller percentage of their income on rent in 2023 than they did in 1993? If not, then in what measurable ways has life gotten better for renters in the city since 1995? The B&T article didn’t give many specific data points to that effect.

    A majority of the city of Boston voted to keep rent control back when the state voted to end it.

    What are you listening to now?

    For anyone who doesn’t like mashups or doesn’t have patience for a whole hour-long thing, here’s a piece of his studio work that I think fits the site’s theme: Man-Made Object: And here’s a cover by a different artist that I love of a song which fits the site’s theme: Skyscraper:
