I don’t understand why the conversation about “enforcement“ always seems to come down to handing over the lack of automated cameras. Don’t we have one of the biggest, most overpaid, and bloated police departments in the whole fucking country? What is stopping the mayor from working with the...

Definitely concerning and hard to not assume this is some nefarious shit given the timing.

Yes. Even small patches of urban wild support a lot of wildlife density. They are simply no need to destroy any more green space. We are literally raping the land and the only reason this is happening is because of wealthy fake progressives keeping zoning restrictions for which everyone else has...

Saw the Rudolph exhibition last week at the Met. Thought it was great. My favorite was his quote referring to modular housing as “the twentieth century brick”. What did the rest of you think, if you saw it?

I think we should develop as little existing green space as possible, and developments like that Commons you posted are a perfect example of cancerous developments that you see from the outer burbs into the inner city, even in Roxbury and Hyde Park. We have plenty of space that already has been...

Outrageous! Maybe Josh Kraft can run for town selectman when he loses the mayors election in Boston

I think the fairly well-established term is "liberal hypocrite"... and, of course, and more specific to housing/transit policy, "NIMBY."

Just saw this now. Wow, it’s amazing.

Wondering when it's thought that the boomers selling off their homes is likely to start impact the housing market. I haven't hear much about this, but after ducking into the Whole Foods on Beacon St in Newton and just looking around and I was the youngest person there by decades, it really...

Same. The Globe is not what it once was. It caters to the burbs readers who think they're progressive but are actually just bourgeois conservatives. Just like Kraft.

...an urban ring or GLX on the Grand Junction would solve the problem, since then we'd have a proper MIT station!

There is something that's definitely aesthetically displeasing about having a slash in a station name. I think it's because the name alone suggests a lack of focus and also that there is no single identity that is significant enough to tie to the station name by itself. I like the idea of...

Disagree. It's the urban renewal projects—reflected in the generic name of "Govt Center"—that are now equally, if not even more anachronistic to the zeitgeist. While I do agree with a part of the principle underlying your argument, which is that romanticized resurrections are to be avoided...

They should just rename Govt Center to "Government Center/Scollay" or something like that

I hate it and know it’s gonna look like plastic shit based on that render. Everybody finds over the idea of buildings like this but what happened to ARCHITECTURE? This is just recycled mimicry of a century ago. Why repeat over and over? Can we really not generate new ideas?

Wealthy urban cities have become very adept at this, a big part is graphic design. Compare municipal documents of today to the stuff you find on archive, it’s so snazzy looking but often all fluff. I think this is all a step in the right direction, but it’s sad to think that probably there...

This is really a huge win for this neighborhood. It’s one of the most scrappy parts of Boston and this will give this major intersection a big facelift. Hopefully will help the rest of Harvard St which is still pretty rough.

The special little S0 segment along Florence literally right behind the square is ridiculous. I like that Washington all the way to South St is high density though. Agree re Cummins.

She needs to marshal the real “community” instead of the loudest screamers who falsely claim to represent it. I don’t think I’ve seen a single media article that actually just goes down to Egleston Square and asks passersby what they thing of the stadium project. It’s all just interviews of the...

It’s very early in the race, and people will probably forget. But it might have been wiser to just not budge at all, since capitulating these days is as good as an admission of guilt.
