I get it, and I feel bad that this person's car was damaged, but somethings up here. They wouldn't have ticketed a wreck, and it doesn't look damaged enough to need a tow. BTD is not psychic and cannot tell if that seemingly minor damage was caused by a building collapse and they should give...

They should be. That space is worth more than your house

Can't it have all those things? It looks big enough

Found it! 92 Willard Street is the only granite house in the city of Quincy. It was built in 1830 and it used to be really attractive. There is a picture of it with porches: https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=qui.454

Oh come on. You people are spoiled. If this was proposed 20 years ago, this forum would be absolutely giddy that anything was being built in such a place. Now we expect big things from hi-rise yuppy projects next to 93

That is a nice block that has stood intact thru the bad old days and I think the "pocket park" will be a traffic island that just enlarges the intersection and detracts from the streetscape. Improve the parks you have right across the street, they aren't optimal The statues thing is just nuts...

I struggle with the parking issue because I am essential nighttime worker with no such thing as a snow day. Same thing as when I was younger and worked EMS. Some of the people you and I need, do need a space and T can't help them. Once upon a time (in many people's adult life) Quincy Center was...

Once again Dot News has the best coverage. It's refreshing, they quote the head of the Boston YMCA, not the consensus on social media https://www.dotnews.com/2025/white-stadium-plan-supporters-say-foes-overstate-level-opposition

Well, this is an architectural forum, so it must be said. Our equivalent to the brownstone is the brick bow front, like on Bay State Road.

Is there an actual brownstone in that area?

How about a maximum percentage of any given town that can be single family with limits on required acreage, and expand the high-density requirement to every town based on size? That way if you must build a single family you still can

It is all fake news. Same thing with the bus lanes. The editor of the Dorchester Reporter enthusiastically supports it, and while some clearly disagree, that is not a particularly controversial stance among the 150,000 people south and east of the park. There is debate not controversy

I think "gigantic" is spot on

I don't think that even more gigantic apartments could be somehow better. It is often said that the Baby Boomers are the lucky generation when it comes to real estate, but they did not require 1,500 sq ft per person, a heated garage and marble countertops. What our generations demand from...

I "liked" it because someone took the time to post it, otherwise, it is fake urbanism and does the least amount of good. At 2,500 to 3,00 sq ft each, this is a bedroom community of attached McMansions, just closer to the city. The inherent energy efficiency of being situated in an urban area is...

I think the last incumbent mayor to lose was James Michael Curley in 1949

When I think of rivers, I think of the Muddy River, and the time and the money spent daylighting it in order to bring high quality development to the area
