    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    Hopefully if traffic does rebound significantly they’ll bring back the second daily flight rather than a single A380.

    Hope Point Tower (Fane) | 250 Dyer Street | Providence

    Fane is being sued in NY for not accepting Section 8 vouchers. It’s not likely going to hurt him much financially but I’m sure there’s been some behind the scenes chatter as to whether that’s the type of character Providence and Rhode Island should really be bending over backwards for...

    https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/10/business/silicon-valley-bank-stock.html SVB acquired Boston Private in 2021 so this will likely have significant ramifications locally too.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    So your strategy is to basically kill the entire Greater Boston region and by extension greatly injure New England at large. Brilliant.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but almost their entire 777 fleet’s ten abreast now including both Heathrow and Gatwick configurations.

    The Bon | 1260 Boylston Street | Fenway

    That’s what a suite generally is - a few bedrooms with a kitchen and bath. I assume you mentioned it because maybe you work with them but the Compass app only lists a fraction of what’s available. For example Compass shows 9 two bedrooms between $4500 and $6k in 02116 while...

    The Bon | 1260 Boylston Street | Fenway

    But the two bedroom here isn’t an apartment so much as it is a glorified dorm suite. The literature even states that the units come completely furnished with among other things a ‘full xl’ bed.

    General Boston Discussion

    That’s debatable. While Boston is indeed one of the better cities in the US let’s not pretend it’s anything exceptional. You can get everything Boston has to offer in a less expensive city and far more for the same price elsewhere.

    Housing (Supply Crisis & Public Policy)

    There’s at most a crunch. The idea of a crisis is a fabrication of some far left socialist think tank. The problem is that people feel entitled to live in certain neighborhoods that they can’t afford to. Hyde Park, Mattapan, Roxbury, etc. are quite affordable but white professional victims...

    General Boston Discussion

    One could create a similarly flattering photo essay for virtually any city on the planet. About half of these pics are of tourist traps that locals avoid like the plague anyway.

    Housing (Supply Crisis & Public Policy)

    Not sure we need to fundamentally alter the urban landscape for a small percentage of snowflakes who refuse to live with a roommate or two while starting their careers. Boston has always been a comparatively expensive city and people from all economic backgrounds have at some point had to share...

    Riverside Development | 333 Grove Street | Newton

    Ironically the only golf courses around there that could have a chance of being redeveloped are the public courses in Newton and Weston which cater to more middle/working class clienteles. The deep pocketed private clubs like Brae Burn, Charles River, Woodland, Weston and of course The Country...

    The St Regis Residences (former Whiskey Priest site) | 150 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    The master deed and floor plans have been filed with the registry of deeds. Would assume closings should begin soon. The larger of the two “grand penthouses” at 10k sq ft could set a record if they get similar prices to One Dalton.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    Minor correction but Logan has been getting the 744 for the last few years. I think we only got the 748 for one or two summers around 2018-2019.

    New-build classical architecture (evoking old styles)

    It does look ridiculous in the example above but it’s a common design element in the Rosario Candela-designed apartment buildings RAMSA is ripping off. See 740 and 778 Park Ave for example.
