    Commonwealth Pier Revitalization (née Seaport WTC)| 200 Seaport Boulevard | Seaport

    Yes, and someday I hope to bike from the North End, past here, to the Blue Hills via the Harborwalk and its connection to the beautiful Neponset River Esplanade and Greenway that is currently under construction

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    Yes, this park is more adult and I think that is appropriate because the neighborhood is developing a wealth of great, kid friendly spaces along the Esplanade. I see this as more like Post Office Square Park with tourists. Also the kids do benefit from this; there are a number of events there...

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Oh, they are the lucky ones in comparison. Milton Station has no escalator and has had its stairs condemned. You have to walk through a vacant lot, and if you get on the trolley, you might need to be rescued by boat. They say there is a plan to fix it but when asked why it is not happening as...

    Dot Rats and OFDs hate the name

    Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    Yes, it looks like it was made with a Girders and Panels set from 1978

    The Smith | 660 Harrison Avenue | South End

    The Big Dig is a perfect example of cost certainty using union labor. Everything else went to shit for a myriad of reasons, but not that. I don't suppose you remember that. The only comparison between that and immigration is that both problems are fake news.

    Dorchester Infill and Small Developments

    https://www.dotnews.com/2025/frustrations-abound-over-t-silence-rehab-mattapan-trolley-line Fluker-Reid noted that Mattapan and Dorchester residents often feel “forgotten” by large organizations like the MBTA because of the slow, uncertain progress on projects meant to benefit predominantly...

    Gillette leaving Southie.

    This is along the South Bay Harbor Trail. Wasn't there was supposed to be rest room, showers, and bike facilities? Maybe this is how they get built

    Where am I? The photo contest

    Someday soon you will easily be able to ride your bike there via the Harborwalk connection to the Neponset River Esplanade https://tooledesign.com/project/neponset-river-greenway-feasibility-study-and-concept-plan/...

    How Tall Are Boston's Buildings and Should They Be Taller?

    I clearly did not say "destination" or "1000 footer" any of that strawman nonsense

    How Tall Are Boston's Buildings and Should They Be Taller?

    When it comes to attracting tourism, a tall tower DT might help our brand stick out more; people do recognize American cities by their skyline. However, that would be small compared to the benefit of all the infill

    I reserve judgement until the third tower is finished

    Multi-Family Zoning Requirements for MBTA Communities

    A lack of appropriate transit is exactly the point. Also, the building on the water is a short walk to Adams Village and you can cut across the cemetery to Cedar Grove Station or follow the bike trail to Butler. If Quincy would stop being Brookline with the dead end off Enterprise Street there...

    Multi-Family Zoning Requirements for MBTA Communities

    I mean Granite Ave on the river near Dorchester. There is a DPW yard on Granite Ave and a tired 80's office building right on the water, the bus line and right on the bike trail. Both are to be upzoned either way. There is also tired nursing home on the water right next to Mattapan Station that...

    Multi-Family Zoning Requirements for MBTA Communities

    Unfortunately, only a fraction of the 8,448 acres qualifies. Here's another alternative. Compromise. The town just needs to zone for the units required, and the state lets them do it on less land. They build a couple hi rises in Lower Mills and on Granite Ave near appropriate T service and the...

    Bay Village Infill and Small Developments

    That is a paramedic's nightmare. If someone broke a hip in a top bedroom they would have to strap their ass to a board and then raise them vertically and lower them 3 floors with the straps. If they break or you let go they might fall 5 floors in this building

    I hope so. It is the only way people who build our homes have any hope of buying one
