The Seaport should be amazing. It was a blank slate on the waterfront steps from downtown in a city with tons of money, brainpower, and a big demand for offices and residential. But it is far from amazing. The fact that there is no pedestrian bridge is a joke. How can something be on the...

Yes, I only want to hear from people who bought a condo in the area a couple years ago, preferably people who had mommy and daddy pay for the down payment. As for people who have rented in the area their entire lives? Get lost. If they are showing up at a meeting at 7PM then they clearly don't...

There will be drug addicts living in the tower. The only difference is their parents gave them a trust fund. As you can see in the pictures from yesterday they are hardly doing anything to get the subway exit going. Many times there is no one there. They obviously don't care about the thousands...

There should be days where the roads next to and cutting through the greenway are shut down to traffic. What is the point of having a concert in the park if you can't hear it because cars are speeding by, honking horns, blasting music etc? Planning for traffic instead of people is anti-city...

Sending an endless stream of taxis into what is supposed to be a pedestrian zone. So dumb.

Sorry for not being being happy that hours have been added on to my commute over the past year. And you are complaining about people complaining, by the way.

Speaking of the subway and MT, when the hell are they gonna finish the downtown crossing exit? Its been over a year now of it being closed and lengthening the commute times for thousands of people per day. They sure are taking their sweet time while everyone who gets off at downtown crossing has...

It is sad that "minimal traffic" is the best we are doing in the only pedestrian zone in Boston. The city is a joke in that regard. Drivers are flipping out over the idea of Newbury becoming pedestrian only for a few hours on one sunday.

We need better public transportation and congestion pricing for people who insist on driving into the city, especially during rush hour.

With 3 projects surrounding it the MBTA bus yard needs to go. I believe they were supposed to turn over part of the property along Washington Street for development years ago but nothing has happened. Its an eye sore and a bad use of land as is.

This is my concern as well. There is constantly cars in the pedestrian zone as is. It got honked at just last week for being a pedestrian in the damn pedestrian zone. Its BS that with the tens of thousands of blocks in Boston we can't get any true pedestrian ways and this building could make it...

What were the quirky historical reasons? The sea of parking lots never made sense to me.

That is definitely JP. I like it. The buildings it would replace are quite ugly and under utilized. Washington Street is going crazy. At 44 units this would only be the 3rd or 4th biggest project on Washington Street in JP.

So they may get 20 years free rent out of this deal. That is some ridiculous corporate welfare. What a joke.

How do they expect to have garage with 200+ spots when Washington Street and Bromfield are both pedestrian zones on that corner? They shouldn't be able to put a garage there. Pedestrians get screwed enough around here.

Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 I'd rather it remain a useless eyesore than see the BRA, city council, Mayor Walsh and a greedy developer make off with tens of millions of dollars that rightfully belong to the people of Boston. We should be putting...

There are multiple grocery stores within walking distance. Buildings like this either have a gym on site or very close by. What is the point of living in a dense urban area if you are driving to those places? Many thousands of Bostonians who make up "the rest of us" do all those things without a...

Great piece. It is so dumb to plan a city around suburbanites who come into town a couple times per year and are too lazy to take the subway that is right next to the aquarium.

Re: One Seaport Square | Parcels B-C@Seaport Sq. | Seaport Hey, the Seaport isn't just dull restaurants in dull buildings for dull people! It also has plenty of Jersey Shore type bros!

Yup, there is no point in allowing cars on those section of streets. Its dangerous with so many pedestrians allowed and it makes the neighborhood less pleasant. Same goes for Union Street down by the Holocaust Memorial. They even let cars down the cobblestone alleyway off Union which may be the...
