... seaport is much, much worse than any of those... obtuse though they may be, i rather like them.

this is great news. question is: will we get another SBW? Or is there a chance for something more urban? More than likely they'll use Harbor Point as a model. Here's hoping its not 'gated'. This area is right on the water, next to a beach, AND with direct access to the red line. Huge...

... the only thing special about this development is the "patriots" in "patriots place". Otherwise, it is what it is: a life-style center. How often does anybody around here get excited about another one of those? Having said that, being on a rail line and having THAT many parking lots...

... ... aside from the landside of this building completely sucking (all there is on that side is a steel service door) the exterior finishing on that side is also already peeling.

... hehehe... "a schooner IS a sailboat, stupidhead"

... ...how is this area more chinatown than say the leather district?

... definitely not out to get you Bostonboy, just wanting to understand you better.

... so what exactly needs to happen for these changes to actually happen? Who takes the lead here? Is it the mayor? Director of the BRA? Seems everyone involved is in it for the money. Who's in charge of actual 'planning'?

? not really following there Jimbo... Its my feeling that the price of Boston real estate wouldn't be so high if what could actually be built on a specific parcel was clarified.

.. ... you don't need height for proper city building, but this thing, along with most everything else in the SBW is failing in that regard.

.... Bostonboy: the thing is, that though it doesn't happen over night, if you slowly tear down these buildings for the sake of towers, its just a matter of time before you don't have any left (and then you're left with a bunch of new buildings, not unlike dallas or houston), so though in your...

... ...or what statler said.

... no offense bostonboy, as I really do welcome the younger generation to what I consider to be important dialog concerning our built environment, but with all the lols, and w.e's and other AIM related acronyms I hardly have any idea what you're talking about. maybe i'm just old. anyways...

... i can't disagree with your comments nico, but having said that, the quality of any new construction that would replace that side of the Dainty Dot building would be of far inferior value than what is already there. Yes, the new tower would be a welcome change of pace for modern boston, and...

... i think they may mention it in the latest issue of the Currant, front cover? something about a privately built dorm.

... a bus is still a bus, and will never be as efficient or enjoyable as proper public transit. See the much touted Silver Line. Instead of having these MIT kids working on lipstick for the pig, how about having them find ways to make real rapid transit more affordable to build?

... alright callahan, get this article up here!

... the dispute isn't about the necessity for parking in the city. Its with the necessity for PARKING LOTS. Parking lots are NEVER necessary. There should be a law. Especially if it involves tearing down an existing building FOR a parking lot, which in most cases is exactly what parking...

... ... buildint aint bad, but why AREN'T they covering the vent???? That should be a prerequisite for anything adjacent to it.

... I've always hated the "Downtown Crossing" moniker.... DTX is even worse though.
