    Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail (South Coast Rail)

    Is it this guy? Holy cow this is quite the playlist for 5 months of content. I would really love a Newport Rail Connection.

    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    This helps, thanks! From that Center for Housing Data I found their DataTown site where you can see the annual housing production per town. But that data ends seems to end at 2020, so I looked at where they're getting their data from. So from there I found the US Census visualization tool's...

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    Maybe they're forcing one lane there, and keeping the hatched area paved to more easily move to a future state (NS-SS-Seaport bus corridor) (see images here in this streetsblog post) where future T-7 buses can queue-jump there?

    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    Is there anywhere to see how the region is doing at adding housing stock? The St Louis Fed has things like "housing structures authorized for boston MSA" or "1-unit houses authorized in Boston MSA" which doesn't seem to capture amount of housing units or bedrooms authorized for people -- just...

    MGH Ragon Building | 55 Fruit Street | West End

    Hopefully this height will help the redevelopment on top of the West End Library down the block which the latest RFPs range from an 82ft, 84 unit senior housing to a 230 ft, 180 units of senior+family housing. EDIT: Whoops, I missed/forgot the news that this one was chosen (155ft / 119 units)

Which you've...

    WFO/WFH Trends among aB community in 2024

    I work from home except for maybe 2x a month in the office when I need specific equipment.
