Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Two down days make a bear market?

Read the NYT article on how unions explode the cost of public construction. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-construction-costs.html "Trade unions, which have closely aligned themselves with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and other politicians, have secured deals requiring...

How many stops are they planning to add to the Worcester commuter rail line? They already added Boston Landing. Soon its going to take 2 hours to get from Worcester to Boston. Only people with a Boston-centric view think screwing suburban commuters makes sense.

I'm all in favor of construction, especially of hotels, but I am getting concerned about the loss of gas stations in the City. If this gas station closes, there will only be one left in the Fenway. The City needs to consider the needs of car owners too.

It seems like the benefit to Harvard is giant and the benefit to the tax payers is miniscule.

Is the Commonwealth going to collect $900M-$1B extra in tax revenue due to this development? Likely not for many, many years. The Commonwealth needs to start acting like a business and only making investments that will pay off.

Excuse my ignorance, but why is the Commonwealth paying for this? It seems like the only goal is to create open, developable space for a private landholder (here, Harvard University). How is it in the public interest to spend tax dollars to benefit Harvard?

Hotel on Broadway on Revere line is coming along.

Zo Greek opened in the Partners Building. Its pricey, but this location has a bar, seating and fountain soda.

Re: Boston Globe Site Redevelopment | Dorchester From the articles it appears the project will involve renovation of the current Globe building rather than significant new construction. Thoughts?

The Roche Brothers DC is consistently busy. Roche Bros usually are, but they did recently close the Burlington store (too much competition from Burlington Wegmans and Woburn Market Basket).

Anyone know when the hotel portion is opening?

The only reason the developer would give the church any money is because the "state" would require it in order to approve the buildings.

You seem to have forgotten about the separation of church and state. The people's representatives set policy. The church is free to do good deeds with its own money - not to confiscate other's money for their good deeds. That ended around 1776.

This is nothing but good old fashion extortion. Who put this church in charge of affordable housing policy in the City?

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District If One WTC in NYC can make it work, I'm sure 115 Winthrop could.
