From what I can tell from the plans though they are not only preserving what is still there but also making *some* improvements, along with designing with sea level rise in mind. Basically, better than what we've got, and where we can't exactly dump fill into water to create land these days...

For myself in southern NH hopping on the bus to BOS is easier than flying out of anywhere else. Bus terminal is right next to PSM too, but I a.) Don't want to fly with ulcc style airlines and b.) have no use for the destinations served from PSM.

Jass, that includes transit pax. Read the fine print. Guam would never see that many "visitors" if it weren't for its strategic location ideal for switching planes. Both Orlando and Miami serve as gateways to the the Caribbean and South America. O&D numbers matter more, and boston is a huge O&D...

Re: Official City Hall Plaza Proposals Honestly, this really is further evidence that the plaza is not and will continue to not be an environment that draws people in. It's time to take a picture and just start building on the plaza as if it were vacant property. City hall too. Make a model of...

This was actually exactly why I proposed this in the first place. The "cooling market" generally equates to projects not getting the financing they need. Meanwhile renters in the area are seeing rising rents that just... Aren't affordable. https://www.zumper.com/blog/rental-price-data We need...

I go by tectonic plates. The Azores are mostly on the Eurasian plate with a couple on the north american plate. Cape Verde is 100% on the African plate. I also consider the Canaries to be in Africa for the same reason.

Yeah, Cape Verde is in africa. Just not the mainland.

I agree on the arches, but those never seem to come to fruition. Also I just... really concur on the shape of this thing looking as if it was designed for the neighboring triangle parcel.

I've made sure to rebuke local politicians who back nimbyism in regards to residential development. Especially "this isn't a partisan issue, but you are certainly pissing off your constituents who rent and are feeling the squeeze" It's land owners vs renters it seems. Old vs young. Like they'll...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Wtf, dude, did you just cheer on runaway rent prices that are threatening to make us all homeless??? Also I'm full blown capitalist but worshipping "job creators" is such a load of horse shit. I'm sorry, are we lowly...

Are we talking about the headhouse? We discussed those at length before, it was a nod to the old headhouse that was intended to be climbed and sat upon.

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Well I figured it was Odu masturbating again but he still didn't get the point after the significant derailment and debate that followed this time.

Uh, I think Houston and the surrounding area started reconsidering some of those policies after Harvey. (Suburban sprawl was blamed as a contributor to the severity of the flooding) Bad example? There is so such thing as less zoning laws and regulation without removing them completely.

No,you build more housing and run to put out the next fires of transit and infrastructure. We don't have a choice at this point, this is what happens when a city decays for decades and is suddenly needed again. So let's stop pussyfooting around it and start diving in NOW. No more damn studies on...

So I guess we're back at square one then? How do we convince NIMBYs that current policies are causing people to suffer? Especially the ones who own property and are oblivious to Renter's woes?

Now it seems like it would be complicated to pull off and I hope there's a few lawyers here to weigh in on the feasibility: First part: create a non-profit to develop and hold residential assets. Complicated second part: Create an investment vehicle that can finance residential projects...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End I think the moral of the story here is, if that building currently provides low cost and/or subsidized housing, any redevelopment needs to replace that housing on site one for one. If that requires incentives such as...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Urban planning is another key issue for us which is why I'm hoping a mod comes along and snips this tangent into its own thread about what really causes "gentrification" and how to prevent local communities from...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End So at this point I'm just counting on mods to split this off into a separate thread because it ought to be discussed: You just accidentally argued FOR racially segregating neighborhoods. The creation of impoverished...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Ok so I hate to contribute to the derailment here, but for someone who hangs out here you should know by now whats creating the housing crisis. "Gentrification" might be what prices people out of a neighborhood...
