How about we DON’T go and sanitize one of the few remnants of active urban market life left in downtown Boston?

Does these look dystopian and bleak to you?

I strongly question whether 30-foot patches of grass with a few flower beds effectively provide people with play space, breathing room, and greenery. Just build a traditional block with buildings that touch, and set aside a bigger, centrally located, plot for a real park.

Still kind of tower-in-a-parkish, sadly, but an improvement nonetheless.

I know that a lot of Seaport/Fort Point residents complain about the lack of a real park in the neighborhood, and that's a legitimate critique -- there absolutely should be a sizable park somewhere that offers different types of amenities for everyone. But, large parks aside, the amount of space...

Jesus Christ, absolutely no one sits and lingers at legacy place. Would be nice if these outlets didn’t just republish press releases.

So much potential in this picture. Whispers of German village life.

I absolutely adore the little pocket of the city that surrounds Beacon st here. Reminds me of Prospect Heights in Brooklyn.

My guy, I am literally a journalist who, among other things, has written extensively about corruption in Saudi Arabia, and I beg of you to understand what you're talking about. Here is how the political process works 99% of the time: Groups of people sharing a common interest on a given...

Jesus Christ, an interest group pressuring politicians to do something - perhaps with, oh the horror, campaign financing! - and then the politicians doing that thing, is not corruption. If you have evidence that Lydia Shire is paying for vacations for mass state legislators in exchange for...

No, it's not the same thing, like at all. Politicians respond to the interests of their constituents. Restaurant owners are their constituents, too. If they lobby, pressure, and provide legal funding to politicians in service of a policy goal they want to pursue, they are free to do so, as is...

Politicians on the take? Lol, no. The world isn't a giant conspiracy theory. In the case of liquor laws, it's really simple: the vast majority of people would absolutely love to see more liquor licenses. . . but it's not really an important issue to that majority. But to whom is it a very...

It does look shitty. But absolutely no one who's not already on this board has ever thought about it, or maybe even noticed it. I'm guessing that's what he means.

Journalists work really hard producing content for very little pay in a vitally important industry that is slowly being killed in a manner that will leave society in a much worse place. Call me a nerd if you want, but if you just fucking steal their work and don't give a shit, then you're an...

Way to go, guys! I also prefer to steal the goods and services I consume instead of paying for them!

Absolutely. There's room for thousands upon thousands of TOD units there, and no real residential abutters to raise a stink about it.

If this project was a mile in either direction, it would be a total win. Route 9 needs this type of development to be de-highwayed, but it should happen in Chestnut Hill or Newton Highlands fist. This spot, unfortunately, is just such a transit desert.

The area around the whole channel has such massive potential. I've been waiting for this for a long time.

Hey, I worked in this building once. The floor plates are massive, as to be expected by an office building from this era. So if they can pull this off, then maybe the floor plate excuse shouldn't always be accepted without question anymore.

Just continue the street grid, Jesus.
