Remember that part of this (not saying all, but part) is that many such buildings were designed in a time when people were fleeing the city ("the city" writ large - deindustrialization), and streets were seen as crime-ridden hellholes (in many cases true). Interaction with the streets was...

Bring back that ass.

Did you also read the article about NYC doing that this morning?

Don't worry, I see your rants over at the Globe. I'm not sure how many people you convince with this approach. I make my share of complaints about NIMBYs too. But the both of you are unhinged right now about CLF. I certainly disagree with their take over at the Harbor Garage, but seriously, you...

Can you dial it down a little, please? Large, bold font declaring people "parasites" is simply not something we need. If that's the best you can do, then anyone on this forum who still takes you seriously should stop immediately.

Giving people better options - absolutely. But the idea that people are necessarily choosing what would make them happiest is neoclassical bullshit. People make mistakes all the time. Just look at drug and alcohol consumption, eating habits, smoking, lack of exercise, problem gambling, sexual...

Incredible, mark me as jealous.

Have to agree. I wish the bitching weren't requisite, but it is. There are difficulties in working for a public agency, but let's not pretend there isn't some bullshit worked in to the difficulties.

One little delay wouldn't bother most people, but stacked with cars that are older than Methuselah and a system plagued with delays and problems it will of course appear bigger than it is. It also causes people to believe that more delays are inevitable, and that the new estimates will also be...

I'm going to agree with both Beton Brut and FK4 here. I live in Boston, and I think New York is awesome. And this is a stupid conversation.

Looking sharp.

Well, it is for educational travel!

The Tam is open on Monday at 3 PM.

No, they don't much disagree. Also, the liquor license issue really does need to be addressed. It's so typical of MA/Boston. The situation will continue to get worse and worse (a la housing) while the private parties who benefit from the current state of affairs (existing restauranteurs/bar...

The business owner was in debt - the building owner is a different party.

Not sure Waterside Place A deserves even a single exclamation point.

Rumor has it that the company which runs trivia nights on Tuesdays at the Tam expects to be there on 1/8/19...

I sense odurandina making a clandestine trip to the top to nail a one-foot spire to the roof.

Are you guys gonna quit pulling it?
