As a regular traveler on both of those roads, I full agree that widening the FEET is totally unnecessary. I do think I-93 did need to be widened, or at least made to be more safe. For whatever reason, it always seemed to be much more "white knuckle" than the FEET. I do agree that failing to...

As a formerly local parent that laments the loss of City Sports further down the road, Dick's would have been a welcome addition, but I'd like to see it as the lower floors of a residential tower.

It's on a former gas station with Rt 9, Office Buildings, and a triple decker as immediate neighbors. What are the specific objections of the opposition? Looking a the satellite view of the location and the neighborhood a couple hundred feet to the south would seem to indicate a community...

I came across this the other day and am still reading and digesting, but it's an interesting insight into Red Line/Green Line early extension planning: http://www.wearethethinktank.org/readers/reader-vol4-appendix.pdf An interesting tidbit on page 36 mentions:

I found this linked in a discussion about San Francisco's office vacancy rate. https://www.commercialedge.com/blog/national-office-report/.

I walk by this three times a week on days I go to the office, and I can't tell if anything is changing or not.

Fully agree. Over the many, many years I've lived and/or worked in Boston proper, I've observed this trend. I worked in the Seaport before the boom, but when it had a couple office buildings. It was a ghost town on holidays, weekends, and evenings. Before more residential buildings started...

The maps themselves were not terribly expensive, but Street View is another story.

You're the first person I've ever met online that uses Compass to search for listings. How do you like the app? Before I was laid off this fall, I was part of the company that built it, and it was a constant upstream swim to try to make it more useful for people.

Fair point, as this was 3-4 years ago. I'm also sure I was a little below market in terms of rent since it was the only rental in the building, was an individual owner, and we got along fabulously with the other owners in the building. We were also very easy tenants. This listing for $6400 is...

Wow, I'm constantly amazed at the premium people pay for "new" and "amenities". The two bed is quoted as starting at $5340/month and looks absolutely tiny. The "living room" appears to be the width and depth of a loveseat. I guess for old folks like me, who prefer brownstones in historic...

I used to drive this section of SFR during my daily commute. At no point did it ever seem like two lanes in each direction were required. The moderate speed increase for impatient drivers like myself was somewhat mitigated by the relatively short length of the road. My personal opinion is...

Echoing F-Line's comments, the final version of the study for the Ray Flynn Marine park notes that reactivating the full track 61 is problematic near the Design Center, and acknowledges the more likely need for freight will be from the Massport Marine Terminal to the north. Here's a 2001 study...

According to Americans for Tax Fairness, Zuck paid $536M in taxes from 2013-2018, so it's not like he doesn't have income reported. However, that's also a tremendously small fraction of his wealth. Regardless, if we're going to tax for improvements to transportation, I'd rather it just be a...

The Esplanade playground would like a word. I've seen more kids than I can count (including my own) fall off that climbing structure. I've also seen the ropes on one of the swings entangle a child's arm and break it with an audible snap. If we can get through all that without lawsuits closing...

I think you misspelled Woburn Center. ;)

I had an office on the ground floor of One Canal Park for a few years, and while the landscape changes are nice, I would have settled for a) stopping the constant and brazen bike theft and b) some barrier between the pathways an my office window. For a, we had to dedicate space in the office...

I lived near the Hurley building for a number of years, and I'd love to have seen it when it was new, since the only form of the building I've known is the one that's falling apart, surrounded by debris, and random bits of temporary chain link fence all over (until recently, it appears) As art...
