That's harsh. The parking lots are terrible but the street level of bldg A looks great.

I don't think the arena is what's keeping Portland from hosting things like the NCAA tournament, it's Portland's size that's the problem. Dayton is the smallest city hosting the tournament this year, and it's a much bigger city than Portland, in addition to being home to an established D1...

Unless you're only going into the convention center, this is a pretty tough location for a hotel. You have no T service and a it takes some significant hoofing to get to just about anything of interest

If propertly activated, Pi Alley, Court Square, and City Hall Avenue could make for an incredible little pocket of alleys. Pack it with small scale retail and restaurants and kick the cars out of Court Square and you could make something totally unique to America, more akin to what you see in...

It's literally a choice between (1) a potentially iconic public space, or (2) private parking for millionaires. God I hope we don't screw this up.

Well, this one's a no-brainer.

Eh, I'm not quite sure it's dead. The Krafts have done a terrible job so far and Wu is right to stand up for Charlestown, but Everett is going to do everything they can to get it built.

I only care about two things on this parcel: (1) adding residential density, and (2) building as much ground-floor retail as possible. In light of #2, I sure do hate that loading dock, but since it's so complex to build anything here, I'm not going to be picky.

I imagine you're right. And, given his prior work in the city government, I would hope he actually has lived in the city for more than just the past two years since the Sudbury opened. It's unfair of me to paint him with the Kraft carpet-bagger brush at this point. But given that its been 26...

As someone who regularly bikes around the city, I completely agree with you, and I think it's absolutely fair and right for bike advocates to take Wu to task on this. But I've also been paying attention for more than a week, so I know that, despite this disappointing removal, Michelle Wu has...

If this is what you think, then, sorry, you're not really paying attention. Wu regularly bikes herself has already been the most bike-friendly mayor in Boston's history. It's unclear what exactly is going on with this lane, and she may in fact be back-peddling a bit in response to Kraft's...

In certain ways, sure. Removing parking minimums and rewriting the zoning code would make thngs easier for real estate deveopers, and Wu is actively doing both. She also overhauled the personnel on the ZBA to make it much more hospitable to a lot of gentle density developments in the outer...

So now Thomas O'Brien of HYM is considering jumping in the race, which can only been seen as a signal that the anti-Wu donors are already abandoning Kraft and searching for someone else. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/10/metro/tom-obrien-michelle-wu-josh-kraft-election/ I would expect...

I'm tempted to agree with you -- because beer gardens are bordering on cliche now -- but the reason why there are so many beer gardens is because there are so few places to drink in Boston, particularly outside. Until the shit liquor license situation gets fixed, things like this will always be...

Hmm, that actually doesn't look half bad for Weston. Shades of suburban London crescent (in form, at least). Or, closer to home, somewhere like Mt. Bowdoin Green or Wellesley Park in Dot. ...Too bad its in the middle of the damn woods, so it's just one of those developments that combines the...

Honestly that's beautiful. Get it done.

It was tweeted out by a Politico reporter: Update: And it gets worse! They removed the official seal of Boston, but left the NYC skyline. Also, the new, unofficial seal they are using appears to have been created by AI, as it has no recognizable Boston buildings.

HO. LEE. SHIT. This is apparently an actual fundraiser invitation for the Kraft campaign. I'm sure I'm not going to have to tell anyone on this board what's wrong with it. He is a fraud, he is cooked, and this race is over.

No you are not, but unfortunately it's common practice and legal. What a bad look, though: The mayoral campaign of the billionaire son of Trump's bff is being funded by someone who lives in Manhattan and has no connection to the actual city, only one of its most wealthy suburbs.

With Wu being thrust into the national spotlight this morning as a bulwark against Trump, I'm starting to think this race is over before it even really begins.
