That's quite a generalized comment with no evidence to back it up. The issue isn't a bankrupt value system, it's zoning, infrastructure, and supply - when we don't build enough housing it forces lower-income works to live further away from jobs or in areas not served by public-transit, which...

Didn't the Globe article say the move would double their HQ footprint and employee headcount? I agree with BigPicture - the building they're vacating will likely be re-occupied fairly quickly so to me this shows continued demand rather than just a simple move from one office to another.

Does anyone have an update on what Verizon's plans are with this space? This article is the only one I've ever been able to find that provided more detail/insight into their plans, but a lot has changed since then (including them announcing that Oath was essentially worthless and killing the...

Yep, I sent Dan Ryan an email about it as well to see if he can push for at least the testing to be expedited. I'd also love to see some discussions and proposals regarding how they can reduce some of the delays with future work (approve longer work days, weekend work, etc.) - one thing I'd...

http://charlestownbridge.com/2022/01/19/massdot-more-delays-expected-on-north-washington-street-bridge-replacement-due-to-defective-weld-in-beams/ Based on AFL's inside info, I left Dan Fielding (listed as the MADOT contact person for the project) a voicemail expressing my concerns about the...

Ugh, that's extremely frustrating to hear. But again, I really appreciate your update - the updates they provide to the community are essentially pointless and never discuss setbacks like this or impacts to the schedule.

AFL, do you happen to have an update on this? I really appreciated your original detailed explanation/update, btw.

Which company?

Looks like the mod deleted my response to your post. What I essentially said was thank you for being open and honest about the help you currently receive - a lot of people don't admit or acknowledge help they receive, especially if it's in the form of connections or other non-monetary ways. But...

Yes and no. There's Section 8 vouchers and project-based section 8 - two different things. If you have a Section 8 voucher it travels with you - you can use it anywhere. Project-based section 8 is tied to the property and stays with the property. If you income qualify and move-in to a...

DZH22, I really appreciate your contributions to this site so I'm extremely disappointed to hear you rattle off the same old, tired falsehoods when it comes to affordable housing. You assume that Person A has lower values/morals than Person B just because Person A makes $50K and Person B makes...

I think a lot of people. New units across from a big park/beach in a neighborhood with tons of existing demand, coupled with easy access to the red line/buses for a short commute downtown and the ability to walk/bike to bars/restaurants in southie and the seaport. The end product will be a...

From 3/23:

You're definitely not wrong - it's all based on the State's QAP (Qualified Allocation Plan) and what they're prioritizing when they allocate out the credits. If this particular project hits all of the State's priorities and scores better than other projects then it's possible they get an award...

I don't disagree with your concerns regarding their experience with this level of construction, but I do think that can be mitigated with a strong/experienced GC. I also understand your concerns about the materials potentially being cheap in order to offset the more expensive design, but that's...

Yes, the Urbanica proposal would have 89 units (all affordable). It would also include a public promenade around it and a public park at the end (that would be used as outdoor ice rink in winter). The roof would also be publicly accessible (presumably with great views) and would have community...

Here’s a new aerial video giving an overview of the current construction status of each building as well as a detailed look inside the new restaurant/bar at the shed. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/cxcambridge_see-where-cambridge-crossing-is-today-activity-6744762136859353088-Vr_n
