I'm a 4 minute walk from this project and I'm very glad it got approved. Its a huge upgrade over what is currently there and no one is losing their home or business so I think the protesters should have focused elsewhere. There was a "tent city" protest last weekend and it seemed to be mostly...

Re: Pier 4 Residential Tower | 136-146 Northern Avenue | Seaport The Waterfront dining scene has it all assuming you want a cartoonish take on Italian or boring steak with a side of tame. The area is trapped in the 1980's even though all the buildings are new. I guess the dull food matches the...

Re: The Boston Arch (Aquarium parking garage) The aquarium complaining about the possibility of increased traffic and reduced parking is lame. That could be used as an excuse for any construction. Anyone who drives around that part of town deserves to sit in traffic and pay $$$ for parking. If...

I think it looks neat and its less wasteful than tearing the whole building down. Get used to projects like these because more and more churches are going to turn into condos and restaurants as the population grows and religion declines.

They are raising the crane more this weekend. Email from my building's mgmt: Unfortunately, due to some unfavorable weather and wind conditions this past weekend, we were unable to complete the Tower Crane jump as originally planned. We are targeting both Saturday and Sunday of this weekend...

Barren and blighted?!? What about those two lovely picnic tables that are on the damaged part of the pier for some reason?

Re: Volpe Transportation Center Development Cambridge Aside from Magazine Beach the Cambridge side of the river is useless for enjoying as an open space because it is ruined by all the cars. Most of it is just a narrow sidewalk with an endless steam of traffic going by 6 feet away.

I live two blocks from the 3200 Washington Street project and I like it. It is not displacing any residents. The dozen or so affordable units is a lot more than the 0 affordable units that are currently in that space. And the self storage building across the street from it is taller so its not...

Re: The Commons at Forest Hills | 3593-3615 Washington St | Jamaica Plain I live 2 blocks from this site and I don't see the problem with this project either. Right now that gross parking lot and the rundown single family home on Green Street are eyesores. Not sure why anyone would cry about...

Clover isn't serving a specific portion of the population. They serve things like falafel and gazpacho, both of which have been enjoyed by meat eaters and vegetarians alike for centuries. The restaurant options in Kendall are way better now than when I lived there just 5 years ago. Things...

umm, what? The main complaint is that there are already multiple cafes in that area and people would be better served with a different, independent business going in instead of another cafe, especially one owned by a large corporation. There are plenty of "nice" businesses that people in JP...

Re: Congress Street Garage Development I used to work in the offices above the garage. It was a terrible place for offices because they would have to evacuate everyone whenever smoke came out of an overheated car or anything like that. We rushed to get the file room at the EPA boxed up...

Re: Nashua Street Residences (North Station) The chances are high. Biking's popularity is sharply increasing and its easily the fastest and cheapest way to get around the city. I lived in a building that underestimated the popularity of bikes and so the bike storage room was a complete mess...
