    Gillette leaving Southie.

    Love these insane parkland requirements. Maybe 50% is right, but it's bizarre to start so proscriptively.

    Brookline Infill and Small Developments

    It's a bad faith concern. There are daycares all over town and yet we don't have smelly diaper complaints about them. Like all clever NIMBY bs, it's couched in something that seems prima facie reasonable, but deeper thought will reveal that it is of course something that is accounted for by...

    Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

    The MPNDC proposal for Warren / Crawford is good and points to the strength of their recent work --- it's heavily mixed income requiring less subsidy.

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    It was meant to be resi, but WeWork bought it for a fortune and started converting it to Office. Then WeWork went bankrupt.

    Allston Yards (Stop and Shop) | 60 Everett St | Allston

    This type of buildout could be great for the rest of the South Bay center. Target and Stop and Shop clearly coexist nearby under apartments. Home Depot does in NYC

    Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

    Yeah, Nubian is its own set of problems. Completely agreed. They're just different ones, if similar at times.

    Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

    And further, Mass and Cass is hyperlocalized. Three blocks down Harrison from Mass Ave, by BWSC, you see no sign of anything amiss.

    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    Northeastern's new architectural style: swirly metal. Just look at (the much better) EXP and ISEC

    Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

    TFA has a history of unhinged comments and outbursts. The typos here are the type of things she would put on twitter in the past.

    Bartlett Yards | 2505-2565 Washington Street | Roxbury

    It's interesting how much nicer the MPNDC developments at Whittier Choice + Madison Park look than Bartlett. They've also moved faster. Wonder what there is to be learned.

    Cambridge Crossing (NorthPoint) | East Cambridge/Charlestown | Cambridge/Boston

    This is all the CRA. A Cambridge gov't source says that their planners (+ Cambridge City ones) are inordinately fond of these roadfume parks and no one can convince them otherwise.

    BPDA Austin Street Parking Lot Development | Charlestown

    I still find the fields along Rutherford Ave bizarre (toxic fume park!) and the setback antiurban, but love how this is progressing and the affordability mix is great.

    Jamaica Plain Infill and Small Developments

    JP residents continually block projects around Green St station (and by Jackson Sq and Stony Brook), anything that would pencil on Centre St to replace single story taxpayers, and dense infill throughout. Occasional exceptions notwithstanding. Look at PLAN JP Rox: the requirements the...

    Jamaica Plain Infill and Small Developments

    There is a long story about the neighbors preventing those lots from being built on and opposing any and all feasible development proposals. But snark is more fun.

    Jamaica Plain Infill and Small Developments

    These lots are still vacant because of Boomer pastoralist NIMBYs

    Jamaica Plain Infill and Small Developments

    100% boomer pastoralist NIMBYism turning the area next to green st station into ahistorically low density homes + vacant lots. And the historical density was far too low for heavy rail subway proximate areas.
