This area is not that nice??? This hotel is a one minute walk from Copley Square and about a three minute walk from Newbury Street, arguably the most active retail and dining strip in the whole city. What is your definition of a "nice area"??

Awful. Absolutely nothing on this street needs to be touched. Go find an empty lot somewhere, there's plenty of them.

Unless you’re posting this from 1872, there aren’t a whole lot of aloof Brahmans left in Boston.

If that building really towers over the Monster as much as the render indicates, then the CITGO sign won't be visible from the ballpark. And aside from the merits of the CITGO sign itself, that's really going to look weird, a completely random lab building just dominating the park like that.

Let me be clear: I would have absolutely no problem if a supernal gets built here. I would in fact be very excited by that! But we don't need it and it's not something that Michelle Wu should expend any political capital on. She's a very promising mayor who can reshape this city's...

YOU DON'T LIVE IN BOSTON. Do you understand how insulting it is to the people who actually live here for you to wage a crusade against an elected official based solely on a metric as stupid as building height? "Fuck efforts at creating an equitable transit system and a more climate resilient...

It’s on nobody’s agenda, because the city doesn’t need a 950 ft tower, and it sure as shit doesn’t need to annex Shrewsbury. Is this really where this board is going? Is every thread going to immediately devolve into suburban height fetishists completely mischaracterizing the mayor and...

It absolutely is insignificant: Look at all those stumps!

Uh, no. Cutting a road through one of the best parks in Boston (and the one that probably most closely adhere's to Olmsted's original vision) is not a great idea.

When the Orange Line gets there, Rozzie Square will look and feel just like Davis. Hell, it may even happen in 10 years regardless of the T.

It's a wonderful building, and there should be 200 more of them scattered throughout the outer neighborhoods.

Yup, former home of Besiktas. And, even though it was historically landmarked, the club blew it up in 2013 (except for one wall of one stand) and built a new, view-less facility.

While I don't actually dispute this, I feel compelled to point out that the first purpose-built soccer stadium I ever set foot in looked like this:

Why WHY are we talking about height in here? Every. Goddamn. Thread.

Activate the alleys!!

Yup. The fact of the matter is that this is one of the least habitable areas in the entire city. The two cemeteries and the Audobon Center act as massive holes preventing this area from ever being knit to any other neighborhoods. And the train tracks wall it off from Rozzie proper. Frankly...

After walking by this today, I am now extremely worried that we're going to lose this building soon. The owners have completely left it to rot to an almost post-apocalyptic state. Windows have been blown out, light fixtures have separated from the facade, and even the "H" in the "Hotel...

This is it, I believe. Triple-deckers we’re viewed as more humane, thanks to increased light and airflow.

Christ, this thing is hideous.

Wow, what a useless piece of garbage post.
