Do you think Vancouver Model could work in Seaport Square and the rest of the unfilled parcels of the Seaport, save for Fan Pier, which I am praying they knock down One Marina Park Drive and the Federal Courthouse, and resurrect the original plans from the late 1980s, with a nice little canal...

Well, Boston's expanding. I'm not suggesting we saturate the city with luxury hotels, but just add some. Besides, I'm pretty sure that these hotels will probably be opened 5 or 6 years from now. The Plaza is just in the early stages of expanding outside New York, Jumeirah won't be coming to...
