I don’t know all the ins and outs about NSRL, so forgive my ignorance. But why wouldn’t east-west trains take advantage of NSRL and continue to a final destination north or south of the city?

Why isn't this project as-of-right?

I mean if we feel like rebuilding Haymarket, too. Tbh it does kind of need it.

The two might be related. It’d be easier to have more, better, and more diverse dining options if everything weren’t so expensive.

Restaurants and bars that don’t expect me to spend my life savings. That and good houses which cost what they’re worth. Better DJs at clubs would be nice too. Of course better buses and trains, but that’s something the whole country struggles with so maybe it shouldn’t count.

Damn, Westie. Looking dense! 😜

There was a little stupidity involved on my part. My usual route into town would be taking the 100 bus to Wellington and getting on the OL. But because it’s only running to North Station right now, my phone told me to take the 96 to Porter and get on the red line. I was waiting at the stop and...

Wanted to take public transit from my house in Medford to the Common today. Despite it being only a 20min drive, I decided to give myself 1hr 15min to get there to allow for delays and upsets. I ended up having to give up and grab a Lyft part way through the trip, because I realized I was going...

They won’t need a new viaduct for decades if they do a good enough job repairing it now.

The conversation should probably happen in a different thread.

+1. Regardless of any overall economic trends, this is a bad building for the location. If the decision was really made in a panic due to companies downsizing or leaving post-covid, it (perhaps ironically) harkens back to when the garage itself was first built: a time when the city thought it...

Is there a reason the T is so married to the idea of diesel?

Did you react similarly when Essex became Chinatown?

Any word on the Alexandria hotel? Drive by it the other day, and it seemed as bad as ever.

Yeah, I was thinking of it less as an example of the steps to get there and more so an example of what the finished product can look like for a city with only 120k people. Obviously for Fall River and Lowell to become more like Reykjavík, it would require a totally different origin story!

I completely agree!

Because building labs doesn’t impact our ability to build housing. If this were housing, it’d be unaffordable and it would be a drop in the bucket toward that 30% number if that’s a real value. Oh yeah, let’s fixate on the MFA and ignore Wentworth, Northeastern, MCPHS, Harvard Medical, and...

A luxury apartment tower at Huntington and Ruggles might qualify as a drop of the needed water. Enough to moisten the lips, but not enough to solve the damn housing crisis. Look to the neighborhoods and the suburbs where tens of thousands of units of workforce and middle-income housing need to...
