This couple built a 14 unit micro apartment building for under $650,000 https://www.dotnews.com/2025/frugality-keys-couple-s-aim-affordable-rents-fields-corner

As recently as two weeks ago, the town had intended to submit a 10% plan and then try to convince the state to change their rapid transit designation. A citizen's petition forced a vote on a 25% plan and then it passed. It seems that the area near the trolley line will see almost all of the...

You need to back off

I am saying that a subway should be a subway when it is near a body of water. You shouldn't be so obviously offended every time it is mentioned

This is an example of why we should never again build roads or mass transit right up against the Harbor or any of our urban waterways. That includes the Neponset and a potential extension of the Red Line from Ashmont. Running a subway train at grade there would be, in many ways, just as short...

I would agree the Mattapan Chronic is the line. It is where the old mill housing stops and where housing was built after WW2, from Mattapan Square, on marshland

It is in Lower Mills, next to the Spukie Shop where the Lil Peach used to be. The Spukie Shop is moving because it is involved in a development across the street, next to where they started selling subs at a walk up counter 50 years ago. I imagine that they will tear down their current one...

I can't disagree with that. I think the developments like the Harriet Tubman House replacement are much more impactful to their surroundings, if not the skyline.

^ This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone here. The local real estate market follows its own logic and this is probably the 4th time this has happened in the history of this forum. The high end is going to tank and it is going to be hard to sell at any price point. As long as you didn't get cocky...

You are too much. If there was a water shuttle from Hartford to the beach, you'd love it

The Merrimack River was once heavily polluted. It still has a ways to go but it is encouraging to see towns now upgrading their riverfront. The shuttle seems like a relatively inexpensive trial balloon and a very cool way to get to Newburyport and the beach. It would be wicked cool if it could...

I apologize DZH22. I was in a bad mood about something else. If I had my way they would build a thousand footer in Neponset Circle

Let them eat cake says the suburbanite. I want my 1000 footer

Cute, but let's be real, it's the tariffs not the unions. The guy who builds your house should be able to afford one. We cannot build because the Trumpists are tanking the economy

It should have a housing component like on Beacon Hill

Here or in Hartford?

I don't disagree that he should stay in his lane. However, he does have the right. My point was about the cynicism that empowers this populist BS that some local politicians wield like a sword. If we (including Adam at UHUB) are unwilling to empathize then we can never convince our neighbor that...

Lynch has a great degree of influence. He was born in Old Colony, went to South Boston High School, Wentworth, BC Law. Why shouldn't he weigh in? I suspect that his constituents cynically believe that this development isn't for them. edit: clarity
