    Is it suicidal people or an OSHA thing?

    Housing (Supply Crisis & Public Policy)

    I grew up here and bought real estate when it was cheaper than now which sounds great. However I have a few problems, first my kid can't afford a house and I can't just sell mine to give him the hefty down payment needed to compete with people who will pay half a million dollars for one floor in...

    We probably should have dropped the .org when we got ads

    Housing (Supply Crisis & Public Policy)

    I was reading the above and noticed the point about the price of a single family home in Brookline. It's true but what is the solution in that specific place? Are we to lose the shoe for the want of a nail? Are we suggesting tearing down Brookline and other unique suburbs and building denser...

    North End | Downtown Small Infill Projects

    That was disappointing. No new development project in the North End?

    American Repertory Theater | 175 North Harvard Street | Allston

    The bus that takes 16 min or walk takes 19. This is not moving the theater to Nebraska. Being next to the Pike is good for the theater and people who don't live near the T, are elderly or disabled. Yes it makes it a little tougher for people who currently have good T access but it may actually...

    American Repertory Theater | 175 North Harvard Street | Allston

    It's also a fact that right now, Saturday morning at almost 10 oclock, it is 24 minutes from Neponset Car Wash to this theater nd 20 minutes from Stoneham. MA via GPS. Perhaps more people will have easier access to this theater than the old one because you can still get to it by the T

    Harriet Tubman House | 566 Columbus Avenue | South End

    It is like the Zakim Bridge in that it is not particularly original but it is the right structure for that specific place

    Allston-Brighton Infill and Small Developments

    A 5 over 1 facing a street has an elevator and is relatively easy to extricate a patient. This is not the same as that. Boston is one of the most difficult cities for EMS and zoning should not make it worse

    Dorchester Infill and Small Developments

    It is interesting that this is a possibility given how scarce hotel rooms have been historically.

    General Boston Discussion

    The argument that the old residents are somehow a problem is what is being attacked

    Allston-Brighton Infill and Small Developments

    It mostly has to do with standardization for emergency services. The street pattern is chaotic as is, it can't be made worse

    General Boston Discussion

    Not laborers, the average Bostonian. It is the people and culture that define Boston and set it apart and it's the taxpayer that helped finance the infrastructure you see that made the city so desirable. I say to my wife, you came here because it was desirable to you and good for your life, you...

    General Boston Discussion

    You could give the locals a wee bit of credit for building the place and stop blaming them for bad 20th Century politicians which was pretty universal

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    It got worse before it got better. In the 80's it was a concrete pit that kids would party in on weekends because it was essentially in the middle of nowhere

    Dorchester Infill and Small Developments

    The problem has always been that it is up against the ocean and not where many people live like at Ashmont or in Fields Corner. However that might change; the area has a huge amount of buildable land

    Red Line Extension to Mattapan

    Hooray! The quirky little trolley line on the edge of the city survives. And BTW the title of the thread doesn't make sense, the Red Line already goes to Mattapan you are just forced to take a really cool vintage trolley to get there.

    It's not like they are moving the Boston Ballet to Methuen
