Terminally uninteresting but considering where this is happening, it's a win.

I'd like to echo Justin's sentiments...my time here has gotten a lot more peaceful since I stopped being able to see him.

That's a wild generalization and overstatement, c'mon. I hate what Wal-mart represents as much as any orthodox New Englander and I express this by never shopping there. You don't have to make stuff up about them smelling to voice your disapproval.

Back of the envelope calc from this summary of the FY19 budget indicates that to go to zero-fare we'd need to replace $671.4M. That's just about $100 per capita. I don't know what a good assumption is for number of taxpayers vs total population, but let's say it's half. $200. Let's pad it a...

I read this as "I must get myself an A380", as if it were a used car you could pick up once the airlines eat the depreciation hit. No tire-kickers please, I know what I got.

All other things remaining the same, I'd be interested to see how that loads up traffic at other points of access to the downtown area. Coming in from the north I'd expect to see traffic shifted to Leverett>Nashua St, Leverett>Storrow>Beacon St, and Sullivan Sq>Rutherford Ave>N Washington St...

lol it's all so tacky. but I wish it all success, I'd hate to see it turn into blight like so many other examples of its type.

I'm just a broke guy on the internet--I thought my problems were bad, but I've never been left holding a $150M bag, sheesh.

Point taken Statler, and kingofsheeba, I should have read it more charitably, don't mean to get adversarial. I just start to grouse when I see the word hipster because it seems to be wielded in recent years by people who never really define it, but they know they don't like it.

Van, how is that analogous? None of the places being floated are as far/hard to get to from Downtown as Staten Island is to the Battery. And it's not a full development--a wheel and some landscaping isn't going to cost $450M.

Ah cool, so for you it also seems to mean "young people I don't like," got it.

Why?

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport Photo by yours truly taken in 2013--witness the darker stones throughout, charred by the firebombing but original.

I think Eastie would be the best--I'd love to see an expanded Piers Park (which still feels like a hidden gem), maybe rebuild that disused pier to the west of the Noddle Island Pier. Instantly makes it one of the coolest spots in town. Alternately I could see one near the pavilion in the...

I don't disagree with you about the non-issue that terrorists targeting hardened federal buildings has turned out to be, but I think I have to take issue with this. The public regularly comes into contact with vestiges of that era, and the specter of terrorism is to this very morning being used...

That looks quite nice. I'd like to see more but this looks appropriate for the area.

"Hey. Guy. Make me one of those fancy juices you got going over there."

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport We've had this discussion before and I'm in agreement with Beton Brut, unsurprisingly. To me there are authenticity issues with putting a building of that style here just because Boston doesn't have them where one would "expect". You can't fake...

I'd thought that as well but I'm not sure what other information they'd want to include. Destination is one, maybe if a car is out of service, or a "STAND CLEAR" flashing when the doors are closing--but now I'm coming up with things we don't really need in order to justify the size. I'm with...

Elevation sucks but it's tall infill, so right on.
