Really great to see more of the 330 neos rolling out. I believe Delta is configuring all of them with Delta ONE, yes?

No sympathy whatsoever. This one simple trick, abiding by the law, will avoid you causing your own schools to get defunded. It's a paper exercise!

Just to get my cards on the table, I am very much on the same page as most people on this board. However, I happen to be a constituent of the good Mr. Flynn, and have been to many neighborhood meetings over the last few years. The amount of grievance-filled unprompted comments I hear from my...

my god the bike lane Welp, looks like Wu needs to ever so gently back away from the bike lane question. It’s the one place she’s underwater. Such a stupid wedge issue but many a “good” politician has been rolled for less. Pretty clearly her race to lose since Kraft hasn’t done anything to...

That explosion of property taxes that Wu spent a lot of political capital trying to block, only to be thwarted by Kraft-friendly local pols? The bike lane culture war stuff is just so, so dumb. Anyways, giving her a national stage to get yelled at by the most MAGA-pilled congressman is...

Politely have to disagree. Overall I thought the interview was solid and wide-ranging, and I think what Auchincloss is doing is setting the ground work for a post-Obama/Biden movement that hones in on doing big things that get clear, unambiguous results. I agree with you on the technical point...

YES! Redfin shows one listing at $3,325/mo for 450 sf, not available until 8/1/25. Not a steal by any means, but 3(?) of these units are going to be restricted affordable, so not surprised on the market pricing. Not a lot of comps in the area, so we'll see how and if these units move. There's...

Is it state's rights when the POTUS unilaterally overrides a duly passed and reviewed state law? Super cool that the executive branch can just wave wands now. Surely no possible way this could backfire at the hands of future administrations with different perspectives on the world. Principles!

From yesterday. The lobby looks like it’s coming along, and it’s even more striking coming off the off-ramp but I couldn’t get a picture. Entryway and other curb-side finishes looking close to completion as well.

Not to be alarmist, but I don't think deference to congress is a concern at all for this administration. Agencies have and will continue to decide how funds are disbursed despite congressional appropriation. Unless the money has been dispatched to state/municipal accounts, I really do believe...

It is very much under construction at least at ground level. There are construction fences and I believe the facade at some of the ground level area has been off for some time. I was under the impression it was well underway with its renovation. There were some splashy ads about amenities...

The chocolate babka is one of the best baked goods I've had in the area. Absolutely worth a trip.

Love to see my dreams come true. 12 Post Office Square up for residential conversion. 70 new units added to the pipeline, total cost estimate of $21.5M. Ends up at just over $300,000 per unit. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/12/business/office-building-downtown-boston-housing/

Great link, thanks. Just uncorked a stemwinder for their consideration. Yet another reminder for folks active on this board to attend your neighborhood meetings and speak up about things that are important to you.

Great building, and for many it forms one side of the gateway to downtown Boston. That being said...I don't think I'd want to live on that corner in its current state. There is a straight line from the fountain on the Common through most of Winter/Summer that needs a lot more enforcement...

Yeah I personally know a few small business owner types (think restaurants, small firms, physicians) who are kind of Romney Republicans but recognize the city we live in. They stick all of the left-of-center boogeyman stuff onto Wu no matter how absurd. If Kraft can pull these "pro business /...

What's his stance on bike lanes, and how high should we rezone all of Beacon Hill to house the homeless? Thinking more about Kraft, it's clear he's running to the right of Wu (duh) and in any other region he'd just be a centrist R. Since Boston voted ~20% for the current president in the last...

I get the arguments against rebuilding Long Island but there is not a mayor or governor who is going to advocate for a new central treatment center within a few miles of a residential area. Barring a new compound in Widett or Newmarket there will be abutters galore the moment a plan drops...

Oh I'm 100% behind you on this, and elsewhere I've mentioned the single vs double loaded staircase issue, including a template for people to write their local representatives to advocate for building code changes. This is #2 for me after required parking minima to reduce costs in building...

Building these intermediate structures in West Roxbury, Roslindale, and Milton is exactly the solution. Go propose it and your family will never find your body. Things are built in permissive environments and for better or worse it’s either the poor neighborhoods or already-dense areas that...
