That's good to hear, but now makes me question the rest of the list 🤷

Man, I don't know if I'm more impressed by metro Boston's 8000 units under construction or appaulled by GREATER LOS ANGELES only putting up 9000 lol. Some things surprise me less like Dallas out building NYC 3:1 per capita

You can check Expedia if you wish, but it doesn't really change the conclusion, this time with tax and fees included and whatever else, there are still a plethora of 3+ star hotels for less than 150/night in SF. But that aside, I do openly have an agenda in that I'm making a point Boston has...

just filtering for 3+ star hotels, there seem to be plenty in and around Tenderloin for unspecified reasons lmao

I think they just read the numbers off of a booking website, so Im leaning no

While those numbers are certainly exaggerated, I do remember seeing a survey of prices last year with the conclusion that Boston has the most expensive hotel market of any major American city (at least the highest price floor, I bet the ceiling goes way higher in NYC). I would still like to...

I see I see, hopefully it survives 🙏

I think there's a lot of hand wringing over nothing but like, I entirely forgot that Columbia road was even getting center running bus lanes. I have been excitedly watching for news about the Blue Hill Ave and Columbus Ave/Tremont Street center lanes but don't remember seeing this one. Are...

That's a valid concern for an ongoing problem that's only getting worse no doubt, but I will say though that its relative importance to me is small compared to affordability. My policy preference is that something like this be waived until the housing market problem wanes enough that its level...

It's bad enough seeing large portions of major parcels go towards corporate lawns, but like what are people going to do on 10 square feet of turf lol. The less-housing-by-any-means-necessary agenda is strong

The smaller above-ground stops on the C branch now have real-time arrival signs 🥳

There are a number of reasons I think public housing is a poor solution to our problems here in Massachusetts. 1. The primary association voters have with public housing is not clean and well-run Singapore but criminality and communists. There would need to be a titanic political effort to...

Potentially unlikely but I know brown university gives at least one example of a bar built into a dorm building

I think the economic problem is indeed pretty clear, but the problem of political economy is almost intractably complicated with the concentration of highly educated and civically engaged people that have an interest in high home prices and attachment to the past. I didn't know we were an...

Weirdly enough I think I saw Boston led the country by a wide margin in commercial space under construction in 2023. I imagine most of that was in the form of low-midrise lab space but still I think that's pretty interesting given how conservative I imagine Boston's building culture is compared...
