This is one of the primary problems with the new tax proposal by the District 1 city councilor. She says that "owner-occupants" will be exempt from paying 6% on any sale. How do you track that in any way shape or form that is easy and accurate, on a new building? And, what if the seller...

The issue for me isn't raw cost but believing there is an actual need, so I guess cost-benefit. No one wants anyone to fall into the pit, but it seems to me it happens once or twice a year, in Boston, or perhaps it's more often but doesn't make Twitter or Universal Hub. It seems overkill...

HER?

True, but not true. True, they are "investment" pieces in that they are second (or, third) homes, but there are a lot fewer (lol) "shell companies" and insidious foreign investors in these buildings that those scary people would have you otherwise believe. The public record for 50 Liberty and...

The final nail in the coffin won't be CLF, which has shown it can be bought off, but the two ignorant city councilors dead-set on stopping anything that helps anyone but natives of South Boston. Real-life commenter on Twitter, "If this project goes through, it will be the end of Southie as we...

The idea this would "stimulate" more housing is worth imagining. On its own, yes, it's ridiculously small .. $500 million is 1,500 housing units (but it's not $500 million b/c half (?) is going to "preserve" existing housing. Back of the envelope calculations is that there are something like...

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport 1) What's going in the empty parcel in front of 20/50 Liberty condos, behind the building housing Committee and the other restaurants? 2) I noticed they have allowed parking on all of the parcel next-door to District Hall. For awhile it was half...

We're on D Street so in-between Seaport and South Boston, we use Peapods for orders and Foodies on West Broadway a couple times a week plus take-out. We don't really eat a lot of food.

Should this be in the soccer stadium thread? The authors of this opinion piece from Commonwealth Magazine want the areas near Rt 93 and South Boston / South End turned into wetlands and opening up the buried Bass River. Join me in being amused/angered by the errors that I found too egregious...

What's up with that rumor of a Wegmans moving into Parcel K in the Seaport/

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium What is your definition of "NIMBY"?

Shredded at 246 West Broadway has closed. Also, there was a place called Shredded at 246 West Broadway, FYI.

Briefly:

I mean, personally?

Re: Massport Parcel A2 | Seaport And then this part isn't the "overhang" / Parcel D1, correct? It's the "triangle" where the construction offices are for 399 Congress are located, yes? The development rights went to a team led by John Hynes’ Boston Global Investors, which agreed to pay...

Re: Massport Parcel A2 | Seaport Right. There is one homeless person; he hangs out in what's technically Fort Point but that's close enough for this ..

I have not heard of anything like this .. as far as I know, you definitely stumbled on to something. Anyone? Odd that one of their images would be of their 20-storey building blocking sunlight onto a public park. The city assessor's website says that Morgan Memorial owns 333 Tremont but the...

Compare this construction to that on Parcels 9 & 10. One is not much like the other, yet both are to be hotels. Amazing.

I've often heard stories about flooding becoming a problem in the area, the result of the water reclaiming its way?

Mention that next time you see Tom Menino ...
