Been working on this map when I'm bored. Its just for the City of Boston and doesn't include vacant lots or parking/storage for commercial cars (e.g. I don't include MBTA bus storage sites). Still have much left to work on (mostly WRox, Mattapan, Brighton/Allston, Eastie)...

I actually really enjoy those smaller glass boxes cascading. I think this wouldn't really make sense most places but next to the highway thats good

They really have to tweak the surrounding streets to make this field connected. Even with JFK right there, the massive unfriendly streets you have to cross make it feel much further.

Based on Massbuilds data, as of now there have been 1592 units constructed in Assembly Row, and an addition 219 under construction. This doesn't include anything proposed and/or zoned for future use. With some units likely being >1 bedroom, you've got roughly 2,400 people living in Assembly...

"Board Chairwoman Christine Araujo voted for the project, but said she is concerned that Nubian Square is seeing a lot of development, with projects all saying they don't need anywhere near the parking required by zoning and that at some point, the area might be overwhelmed with cars and no...

I actually like the façade on both sides. I think both use nice to ways to add texture.

I literally lived down the street from here carless, for many years. So... Also, I didn't say carless. I said I hope it isn't above a parking ratio of 1. Which means, 1 parking spot per unit.

Happy to see more units coming near the commuter rail, and is a re-use of some commercial offices instead of tearing some more trees down. Not sure what the parking ratio is but I hope its not higher than 1. This is literally steps from the commuter rail and a 2 minute walk to a bus stop.

They should just take transit to all the sta---oh wait....😭

Think these infographics from MHP help the convo a little too. Several stations along the red line for example have lower units per acre. I wonder how the Multi-family for MBTA communities bill will affect cities and towns reactions to proposed extensions of heavy/light rail.

Small infill on Pearl St. opp. Dot Ave. Looks like it will be an extra long triple decker maybe. Hopefully this underused parking lot is next.

Street view has even better views of it with Ivy growing across the garages. 😩

People protecting their own capital interests IS capitalism :P
