    General Boston Discussion

    I think something that is interesting is while Boston punch above it's weight in terms of life science, it is severely below average in terms of Fortune 500 companies which to me is likely due to its proximity to NYC. Just something interesting to note

    Housing (Supply Crisis & Public Policy)

    I didn't read it as snarky at all. That being said, I guess my question is how well suited are individual property owners to build and manage multi-family housing? An undertaking like that essentially means managing a new business for the property owner, some of which probably do not want to do...

    Housing (Supply Crisis & Public Policy)

    Good luck. The shortage is compounded by large real estate investors buying up homes and charging exorbitant rates because renters have no other option as well as wealthy Americans and foreigners buying up real estate as second homes or to rent out on airbnb as passive income. The US can't...

    That's a gnarly slide. I approve

    I think the above is the best angle of the skyline with the Winthrop Tower. The gap between them allows both MT and WT appear more prominent

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Thank you, I have not ridden the CTA since the pandemic. That's good to know!

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I'm confused with chrisbat's original post (seems to be buried a few pages back and I can't find it). I've been to all three cities and ridden on all three's public transits. From my experience, the MTA and CTA has been much more reliable in getting me where I need to go in a timely fashion than...

    An ignominious achievement for Boston. Renting in Boston is one of the biggest scams in the country, given the old stock, the unaffordable new stock, the fact that people can tour your apartment while still living there, the fact that landlords puts it on the previous and new tenants to clean...

    Btw, watched a B1M video yesterday and they noted one thing that can turn the high-rise boom into a bust is the rising fed rate which will in turn make loans much more expensive and harder to attain for development. This, I don't think any city is immune from so if the Fed hikes the rate again...

    NYC Architecture and Development

    April fool must have come late this year. Otherwise, my condolences. I look forward to the day that this building gets demolished. This is one of those "just because you can, doesn't mean you should"

    It's robust in the sense that people are able to live where they want to. Want to live in Boston but your company is located in OKC? Well now you can! Want to buy a house in an urban city that you can afford but your company is in SF? Well now you can! Prior to this, growth in a city can be...

    General Boston Discussion

    I'm going to disagree with you and say that the demand for programmers is going to continue. We need programmers, developers, analysts, and engineers as Big Data continues to grow and every single business decision is data driven. A business that doesn't utilize data is doomed to lose its...
