Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan have hundreds of lots where buildings once stood but zoning is standing in the way of their development. If every vacant lot in a residential area could have an exact replacement of what was there, built as of right, it would create a couple thousand units...

The state wanted to turn this into a bus. They built the actual subway to the suburbs and neglected this. They need to cut the rhetoric (and the checks) and either sincerely work with the towns or implement state-wide zoning

The Silver Line is the second transfer you would make if you were going to the airport via the Mattapan/Ashmont. It takes three to get to the Blue Line. This trolley is not a subway train, it is a bus with a ROW far from DT. Somerville, Brookline and all the rest use the better cars and they go...

What exactly do you mean when you say equal? What does " It's primarily the demographics of the neighborhood at best" supposed to mean and which neighborhood? The line serves Dorchester, Milton, and Mattapan. There is 100 years of history, you and your buddy Henry should learn a bit about it...

Could that make sense if the land, under the new zoning, suddenly became more valuable?

I wish this group had control of the site. I cannot say we are any safer now than we were then. It seems that a couple of the mods don't participate anymore and some of the categories like the awards need an update; they are years out of date. A great site like this that has had members for...

I'm just kidding, and no nostalgia here. I just think the three decker style (which I like) is an interesting topic to discuss because despite their limitations, there is a revival, and they are still useful to the current generation.

I am sorry you had to move to such an awful place

I like the look but the garages are not great. BTW The way a three decker sits in a lot is a feature not a flaw. They were built so you have a front and back porch, and a shared yard. They are spaced so you get light and air in every window. Quite the luxury for people who once packed cold...

People rarely go to the theater alone. I would imagine that there would be at least twice as many people in each individual car compared to those on the Mass Pike at rush hour.

I think would be great because I like old buildings and I particularly like this one, but I have to wait for the details before I call it good. Higher costs mean higher prices. It would be nice if the city had a lot of land in mind or Community preservation Act funds were used because the...

Tell us how it is and we won't be "ignorant"

That's the Martini Memorial Shell in Hyde Park

I don't like the name Legacy because it is always about ancient history or some mythic past that the generation before me is obsessed with. For those of us who grew up in shitty, dangerous Boston, these are the good old days in every way, and I wish the team's name could reflect that.

It would be great to see a new bridge but I'm not happy about this. It is a piece of history, and it is only ugly because it is neglected, same as the Hotel Alexandra

I remember that the group had become afraid that the forum would just disappear because of a sudden barrage of intrusive ads and pop ups indicating that we were now using free ad-based software, and they wanted the features available on other forums. The Admin wouldn't or couldn't do that so...

This is a huge win for the city because it narrows the scope of the trial and limits the allowable evidence: “The White Fund was established for the benefit of the general public, and the Plaintiffs do not have individual interests in the White Fund distinct from that of the general public,”...

I loved La Paloma and I am sad to see that it is gone. There was a time when decent Mexican food in Boston was rare because there wasn't a sizable Mexican population. Not even fast food, there was one Taco Bell in Boston out by BU. At that time La Paloma had a monopoly on the 250.000+ person...
