Balconies are definitely a personal preference. I'm on the side supporting balconies. Why? I would love to be able to work outside while being able to use my own reliable wifi rather than from a cafe and given that I work from home, it's a convenient place to be able to be outside the house. It...

I'm guessing what event being hosted at city hall has a lot of jumping up and down? You mention sports championship but that doesn't even happen every year. I know they host the occasionally show or showcases at City Hall but those aren't festivals or raves (not since Boston Calling moved).

Stuff additional RAM onto my laptop so now I can actually run the mods that improve the realism. Thought I share one of the cities I've been working on. Note, I only run the high settings for the screenshot. I turn the settings back down during gameplay so that my laptop won't fry

Just found Toronto's architectural forum (sister forum? Believe Archboston is owned by the same owners as theirs) and their top 10 tallest proposals are all above 750 ft https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2021/11/torontos-tallest-ten-towers-waiting-line-approval And their 14...

Unfortunate that from this angle, WT made MT into a background tower. Closest example of a subtraction by addition

I don't know? Maybe ask the guys maintaining the Hatch Shell and the Esplanade what their secret is considering they hold the July 4th celebration there every year. Chicago also does a good job maintaining Grant Park despite hosting Lollapalooza every year

Yeah I don't get it either. They should have just committed to having more greenery. The top part sort of gets it right but the rest is just too much bricks

This is the mother of all background buildings in Boston

Except this site was a condemned parking garage slated to be demolished. If Hurley, Hynes, and other sites were designated the same, I'm pretty sure Menino would have pushed for it. This isn't about a lack of foresight, but rather taking what opportunity was given to him.

Couldn't even get the dates on the signs right. https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2022/08/18/mbta-signs-incorrect-dates-orange-line-shutdown/?p1=hp_featurestack It feels like there is zero quality control in the MBTA and I doubt they are going to get things right during the shutdown

I've never seen Missouri so I don't believe it actually exists

I almost feel bad for the MBTA at this point

I, for one, am glad they picked the cable stayed design. Boston lacked modern landmarks and this bridge was one of those rare opportunities for the city to build something defining and recognizable

Compare this to this shot I took back in 2007

As long as the LRT or tram doesn't run on the Green Line. The Green Line can barely handle Red Sox loads

The MBTA has been a shitstain for years and I'm glad that this is finally coming to light. I've lost faith in the MBTA to be able to run a transit system competently the day a disabled Silver Line at South Station was enough to shut the whole Seaport Silver Line down. Maybe actual change and...

At what point will they deconstruct the tower a la The Harmon I'm Las Vegas

I was actually expecting a different name on the list haha. I have a friend who's brother climbs skyscrapers as a hobby; I found a video of him climbing the Wilshire Grand Tower in LA. I honestly don't know how you and they muster the courage to do those climbs, and get past security.

Umm....some of those names are familiar to me.... Edit: checked the instagram profile of some of them...they've already climbed the tower once before in June

Isn't that what you call Frank Gehry's designs?
