I'm not sure if we would have anything different from the Silver Line if an NFL stadium was built in the Seaport. MassDOT seems to think the Silver Line is sufficient so you'd likely have a miserable transportation situation on game days. edit: Also, I feel like a stadium would likely inhibit...

Blow up the Midtown Hotel as soon as possible please.

Because you have an in station transfer for Blue->Green and Green->Blue. It's simpler and cheaper for people who use the system. DMUs and Commuter Rail are going to have a different payment scheme so jumping out of Kenmore and paying to get to the purple and indigo trains is less of a problem...

Re: Boston 2024 Olympics Yeah, my bad. I goofed on Fall River's geography. Don't count Europe out just yet. In 2024 it will be ten years after the last European summer games and there are a bunch of European cities in the running. The two most serious bids are Paris (which last hosted the...

I would much rather that the Blue Line go to Kenmore and not Yawkey than the opposite.

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium You keep calling Boston a bad market for soccer but your evidence boils down to people not liking the Revolution and one singular person not buying the team from Bob Kraft. These are not compelling arguments against a soccer franchise being able to succeed or find...

Those are all better places to put sailing but that isn't a reason that they couldn't or are unable to put sailing in Fall River. While it is incredibly unlikely that Fall River would get any Olympic events and it isn't the best choice available, it wouldn't be physically impossible so the...

If I could chose where they put sailing then I wouldn't choose Fall River but do you want to elaborate on why they can't put it there?

Suburban life is propped up by a lot of poor public policy and has many negative effects on the economy, the environment, and public health. It is unlikely that our current urban/suburban configuration is going to last for very long.

Its not absolutely insane, they could have sailing down there.

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium Where does that Wonderland model come from? Carter Playground is a no go because I'm sure that Northeastern has some plans in their IMP that involve that site.

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium No Kraft doesn't have an obligation to do anything* and I don't think anyone in here says that he must build an urban stadium, only that he should build an urban stadium for the team to be successful. *(At least until the team's lack of success starts to...

Re: I-90 Interchange Improvement Project (Allston) I think that if its your job to design highways, particularly a highway in an urban area, you should have knowledge of basic urban planning concepts yourself let alone have an urban planning specialist look over your work. If you don't account...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium Again, its literally everyone's fault except for Bob Kraft. Putting the stadium on the Commuter Rail will not change anything. Gillette Stadium is currently on the Commuter Rail and it doesn't do anything to help attendance because the Commuter Rail is...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium All of this is relevant because of the arguments you are making about Boston. You can't paint Boston as a bad market for reasons that are the result of a lackluster front office in order to make Providence look like a more attractive move. So a twenty minute...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium Because the New England Revolution have been in Foxborough this whole time and the Krafts have done little to nothing to build any interest in the team. There is a huge difference between being accessible by rapid transit and being accessible by commuter rail...

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium Soccer Specific Stadium?

Whats going on in Iraq is actually Bush's fault though. The dismantling and failed rebuilding of the Iraqi state all happened under his administration.

This is a cool website that lets you draw transit lines: http://www.transitmix.net/

Preventing future expansions is a real bad thing to do and I don't think its good planning to block options for the future when unnecessary. You don't know if Boston in the future would require a Blue Line extension in the future. For example, the commuter rail tracks that run through...
