    What is this, a city for ants?

    View Boston (Observatory) | Prudential Tower | Back Bay

    Looks cold and sterile, as if the design brief called for an airport lounge furnished by Ikea.

    Golf Course Redevelopment

    Let the market sort that out. Maybe some day a club will fail and present an opportunity for another use but I wouldn’t count on it happening any time soon. The public and muni courses are playing close to capacity most of the season and virtually all of the private clubs have full memberships...

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Or even restaurants that do cost an arm and a leg but are worth paying for. Boston’s dining scene is an embarrassment. Last time I checked Charleston had more four and five star restaurants than Boston.

    Hull infill and small developments

    Hull(and Hingham since that came up above) are universally regarded as Boston suburbs. They both have MBTA bus and commuter boat service and are only five or so miles from Boston as the crow flies. I can’t imagine anyone in the real world would argue they aren’t part of Greater Boston. I think...

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    Hopefully if traffic does rebound significantly they’ll bring back the second daily flight rather than a single A380.

    Hope Point Tower (Fane) | 250 Dyer Street | Providence

    Fane is being sued in NY for not accepting Section 8 vouchers. It’s not likely going to hurt him much financially but I’m sure there’s been some behind the scenes chatter as to whether that’s the type of character Providence and Rhode Island should really be bending over backwards for...

    https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/10/business/silicon-valley-bank-stock.html SVB acquired Boston Private in 2021 so this will likely have significant ramifications locally too.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    So your strategy is to basically kill the entire Greater Boston region and by extension greatly injure New England at large. Brilliant.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but almost their entire 777 fleet’s ten abreast now including both Heathrow and Gatwick configurations.

    The Bon | 1260 Boylston Street | Fenway

    That’s what a suite generally is - a few bedrooms with a kitchen and bath. I assume you mentioned it because maybe you work with them but the Compass app only lists a fraction of what’s available. For example Compass shows 9 two bedrooms between $4500 and $6k in 02116 while...

    The Bon | 1260 Boylston Street | Fenway

    But the two bedroom here isn’t an apartment so much as it is a glorified dorm suite. The literature even states that the units come completely furnished with among other things a ‘full xl’ bed.

    General Boston Discussion

    That’s debatable. While Boston is indeed one of the better cities in the US let’s not pretend it’s anything exceptional. You can get everything Boston has to offer in a less expensive city and far more for the same price elsewhere.

    Housing (Supply Crisis & Public Policy)

    There’s at most a crunch. The idea of a crisis is a fabrication of some far left socialist think tank. The problem is that people feel entitled to live in certain neighborhoods that they can’t afford to. Hyde Park, Mattapan, Roxbury, etc. are quite affordable but white professional victims...

    General Boston Discussion

    One could create a similarly flattering photo essay for virtually any city on the planet. About half of these pics are of tourist traps that locals avoid like the plague anyway.
