Yeah, ever since I moved to an urban area I almost never order any deliveries. The whole point of an urban lifestyle is being able to walk and buy things nearby. They really should restrict deliveries to nights only. Suburbs are better built with ample road infrastructure so deliveries work...

Well they proposed it with less parking before so it clearly wasn’t a problem. Boomers man...

Other cities may be getting homogenized, but they were never much to begin with lol. It takes good local urban design to add place making and local flavor. And I think the Boston area does a superb job with that overall, easily top tier. If you’ve ever traveled extensively through the suburban...

Sounds way exaggerated imo. Have you even visited nyc recently? It’s absolutely incredibly bustling everywhere and with many great parks and retail and food trucks never more than a few steps away. The local flavor is unmatched by anywhere else and probably getting a bit more upmarket overall...

That's gotta be the most massive wood-frame residential building in the Boston area, or close to it. I actually quite like the massing and facade. It's big and unapologetic but keeps it interesting.

DC Metro has had bright LED lights installed at a lot of stations recently. Of course it's a much cleaner system to begin with.

Awesome stuff, Javier! Hopefully this becomes a great urban node with the requisite retail.

It's actually spelled Allbright. Well, I am intrigued, just from the name, I'm guessing it's a co-living building, and after doing some googling, yes it is! I think this is a great model for young(er) professionals that want a nice place but not at the price of a standalone unit, plus it may...

This is a big deal, and decades overdue. Awesome TOD.

Renders look like some not quite satisfyingly urban DC-area development. Obviously the surroundings are better here but this does look a bit corporate. I do like most of the existing buildings that got built here though so hopefully they future ones will be more inspiring than the renders or...

This is honestly fire. A work of art.

New Haven is definitely above Hartford for urbanity. Probably Portland, Maine is also above Hartford. I'll admit that most of the other midsized cities are mediocre.

Well yeah, the buildings are taller. But it'll be similar, trust me. The corporate urban development template doesn't exactly vary that much from city to city. This corner...

I was not referring to the existing Boston seaport in its entirety. I agree that it is superior to the DC Navy Yard. I'm talking about only this development specifically based on the rendering*. DC is oddly dead for a dense city, but so is Baltimore. Really only Boston, NYC, and Philly on...

Wow. That's like the DC Navy Yard of Boston.

Can editing posts be enabled? Oftentimes I have a complex thought that requires several edits to phrase right. I'm sure many others do too.

Worcester is a cluster of working class historic housing, no more and no less. Just like the Rust Belt in the Midwest, historic preservation isn't the highest priority, when essentially every building is both historic and deteriorating.

Are you crying?

Lots of great architecture. 7-13 Haynes, 375 Maverick, and more.

270 Dorchester looks awesome. Great European-style corner lot building. I don't know many cities that are getting stuff like this like it's nothing.
