Detroit's street layout yields better to skyscraper canyons than Boston, IMO. Almost any building in Detroit of decent height and composition can have a major impact, whereas in Boston they more often than not blend into the existing fabric of the city.

A really nice blend of neoclassical elements in a recently topped off residential building in St. Pete, FL: The Nolen, St. Pete: https://stpeterising.com/home/23-story-luxury-condo-tower-the-nolen-tops-out-downtown-st-pete

There is still work to be done at the Pru including adjacent parcels and until it’s fully realized I wouldn’t want to see a “pause” in any development there.

The truss bridges are a nice historical nod, and the blue is a fun and playful touch (something seriously lacking in most bridge replacement or new construction these days).

Normally highly appreciative of the retro art deco look but something seems a bit one dimensional about this one — perhaps it’s setting in relative isolation to its surroundings.

Thank you for reminding me that I miss Santa Fe. Very nice set!

Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, Somerville, Lynn, Everett all boost population densities within that range. By that measure, outer ring lines (within the beltway) could be supported.

It would be even better if some of the historic manufacturing towns, notably Lowell and Lawrence, were to benefit from polycentrism, not to mention Worcester.

DC Metro closes at midnight Sun-Thurs and 1am Fri/Sat. While it would be great if it ran much later to at least 3am when bars shut down, it’s really not much different from the T in that regard. I’m not sure when you were at Dulles but the Silver line extension had a plethora of challenges...

I’m currently living in Capitol Hill and when necessary, I fly out of Dulles and the Silver Line extension has been hugely helpful. My only gripe is that they do not have express trains from DC to Dulles so you need to plan ahead significantly. Obviously DCA is much more convenient. It is very...

These pictures show that the arched area will have plenty of natural sunlight rather than a crypt-feeling that some have feared.

Tell that to Northeastern.

The overcast skies provided an imposing backdrop:

Is that you, John Silber?

Probably the best vantage point of the Boston skyline.
