I wonder why they are being constructed using wood?

You're right, "taxes" is not the correct word. My understanding is that Wu has increased environmental requirements or regulations on new residential buildings that will substantially increase the cost of building those units. These increased costs, coupled with higher interest rates, have...

I read somewhere that new housing development in Boston has collapsed since Wu came into office, maybe fallen by 50% or more? I'm sure interest rates have something to do with that but at the same time Wu has raised costs substantially with her affordability increase and "green" taxes on new...

I walk by this location often; I think it's too early to judge the pedestrian experience since the front sidewalks and plaza are surrounded by fencing. From what I can see through the fences it looks to be promising and a huge improvement over what was there.

I like the logo, it adds some interest to the building and lets passerbys know what the building is about. Boston is full of unmarked, anonymous buildings that are a mystery as to what is in there. At least with a logo you know something. I was in Sydney and was amazed at all the corporate logos...

I wonder if they'll put any Raffles signage on top of the building? Seems like a great opportunity
