    General Boston Discussion

    I think that real good brick buildings are in scale, and they look solid. Fake brick buildings generally look fake. Fake brick skyscrapers look cheeseball, and brick sidewalks are a tripping hazard. The city should stop insisting on this crap

    Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

    Notice the municipal boundary between Roxbury and Boston in the Back Bay https://collections.leventhalmap.org/search/commonwealth:9s1619901 In colonial times the South End went from the neck to the Townhouse Edit...

    Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

    And if you are really old school, anything west of Arlington Street to Brookline is Roxbury and anything east to the ocean is the Old South End.

    Multi-Family Zoning Requirements for MBTA Communities

    We are discussing a law in which the only penalty for noncompliance is disqualification from certain grants. What are you talking about?

    Multi-Family Zoning Requirements for MBTA Communities

    I doubt that would scare them very much because the majority of people in Franklin and most suburban towns do not work in Boston

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    Are you sure there are $42M in add-ons? There is confusion because a full accounting is not available to my knowledge. Every penny this goes up without an equal community benefit makes this less of a good deal for the city

    Quincy General Developments

    Also, why do they need sell 12 acres of a public park for a 110 room hotel?

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    That article was written by a guy based in Boston yet there is only one small paragraph near the end about the costs suddenly doubling. I support the concept, but the sticker shock is real and this may be only the beginning

    Quincy General Developments

    This is fill from the Big Dig. The supporters suggest that it was disused, and that they are doing the taxpayers a huge favor by "transforming a landfill and abandoned quarry pits." The truth is that even before the last quarry finally closed in the 1960's this land has been used for passive...

    Multi-Family Zoning Requirements for MBTA Communities

    Those are good points but on immigration we cannot blame the State for not enforcing Federal law.

    Multi-Family Zoning Requirements for MBTA Communities

    Sorry if we don't feel a need to kiss the ring. Federal law is enforced by the feds. Massachusetts is only required to enforce state laws.

    Ha! I skimmed it, sans coffee, and thought you said, "I feel bad for Henry Rollins."

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    The city's commitment to this cannot be open ended and they need to be honest about why the estimate was so low. There are no $50M in additional community benefits

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    Clearly, the Globe knew this was going to come out when they ran the op eds about how the teams should share a stadium.

    Dorchester Infill and Small Developments

    The Dorchester Brewing Co. situated on Mass Ave is an excellent local place with good beer, ale, and ciders, a roof deck and skyline views. It is also home to The Museum of Bad Art. Recently they sold their building to the IBEW next door for $10M after initially purchasing it from them 8 years...

    Transit history/trivia quiz

    It is part of the Red Line because they say so, but not rapid transit as the state would like you to believe

    Transit history/trivia quiz

    By that definition, every stop on the Mattapan- Ashmont equal zero gated entries because those stations don't have gates

    Braintree infill and small developments

    Braintree has over twice as many people as Charlestown and is almost equal in population to East Boston. This project is the same distance from Boston as Riverside Station in Newton. I think there should be a better forward thinking transportation plan instead of the same old bus service and...
