Art Park site lawsuit dismissed http://missionhillgazette.com/2016/11/04/art-park-site-lawsuit-dismissed/

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread to post this but I'm hoping it will spur an interesting discussion. The article touches several issues that I've seen repeatedly arise in this forum over the years regarding the intersection of Boston's commercial spaces, gentrification, and planning...

Union Square developers pitch urban marketplace http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2016/10/02/union-square-developers-pitch-urban-marketplace/pgfmVKpQ0ewdep815o67qI/story.html I believe this building and parking lot are tucked away behind P.A.'s Lounge. It's a great idea.

Got it. Property rights and potato chip bags. Good points. The city is not just a conglomeration of property rights, deeds, and other official documents that grant exclusivity to every single speck of dirt in a given location. It's not that at all. Cities are dense overlapping interconnected...

Isn't this a much more interesting example of how people can use places that they don't own in a generative way? or this

I know, I can't believe that some people just decided to tag that wall with the names of a bunch of POW and MIA veterans. Oh wait, I see. Trying to bait me onto defending the desecration of a war memorial? You really are a great asset to these discussions. Thanks. Keep up the good work.

Giving it some more thought, it seems possible that what is being conceived of as destructive acts can in fact be generative ones. For instance, a little granite wall that is unused in anyway possible becomes something that contains actual value to a skater who might utilize it. With that in...

This is an interesting discussion. While the average skateboarder is probably not conceptualizing it this way and I myself don't necessarily agree with it, the appropriation of private property for ones own use, whatever that is... may it be skateboarding, sitting, graffiti, yarn bombing etc...

This isn't specifically anything yet but I noticed that the large Jack Young warehouse on Cambridge St is up for sale. There appears to be some sketch renders of the building with a couple of added floors and a new extension in the back. If they are indeed leaving Allston it's an amazing...

Doug George, who lives within the McCormack Civic boundaries, said he was “excited to build a signature building in his own neighborhood” as he discussed his proposal to redevelop 1258-1272 Mass. Ave. His plan for the 19,896 square parcel is to demolish the existing structure and replace it with...

I never thought I'd live to see the day when this collapsing eye sore got some attention. It's been the black eye of the neighborhood for over a decade.The good people of Savin Hill woke with a smile this morning. Vacant Savin Hill storefront changes hands, mixed-use development on the horizon...

Looks like there are plans for several restaurants and a bowling alley in this development. http://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2016/09/pizzabowling-spot-greek-eatery-cafe.html

Developer of South Bay project acquires lot across street http://www.bldup.com/projects/7-baker-court

I just noticed that the used car place in Everett Sq was gone yesterday. Looks like there is a two building project being proposed with a total of 40 residential rental apartments and 1,500 square feet of commercial space. It's going to make the walk over to the Dorchester brewery a lot more...

City Point Center, LLC today filed a letter of intent with the Boston Redevelopment Authority to build a four-story, mixed-use building with 57 residential condominiums and ground floor commercial space at 1120-1132 Washington Street in the Lower Mills area of Dorchester. The developers also...
