Also since everyone is sharing general investment philosophies here, my family has been sticking to a mantra of "Invest in sectors you know the best" which has been pretty successful over 3 generations of my family. My father is currently managing my grandmother's account because her Alzheimer's...

My actual retirement fund which isn't managed by myself has a whole lot more money in it and is currently 100% in the safest fund possible. These individual investments are considered "practice" by my parents and doesn't involve nearly as much money- Also a lot harder to diversify at that low of...

Everything I want to invest in that isn't a REIT is pretty set to get pounded on the markets for the next couple of years. I'm waiting for the next economic crisis basically, that I have a feeling is coming ~ early 2020 time frame. Also SNH is my investment in life sciences for the moment...

The labor shortage and tariffs on basic construction materials probably has no one in too much of a hurry to break ground on their projects.

Look on the bright side, at least they didn't wait for the entire fleet to shit the bed before even making plans to replace them, which would have been par for the course with the mbta. Improvement!

So this seems like the appropriate forum to discuss this topic! So as of last year my dad decided to start giving me money for me to practice investing with. I've already been watching markets for years and have practiced researching and guessing where the markets and individual stocks were...

Re: 286-290 Tremont st | Chinatown I hate It when buildings have those things like the aluminum tabs on soda cans, but it is a whole lot of housing. Build it now please.

Yeah, it's also just generally poor form to go around dissing other people's neighborhoods. Orient Heights is a real neighborhood with a real community. Fattony- People are going to take it personally if you just tell them their neighborhood sucks. If they are a closely knit community they...

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.
