The Expo and Gold Lines in LA County.

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown This is nothing short of disgusting. An opportunity missed to preserve a beautiful building that would have helped this tower blend in! And for 34 feet off of an already tall building, is anyone really going to notice the difference? Is the...

"until it's overtaken by dubai" haha, that was straight up 'debbie downer'.

oof ... couldnt put some residential in there?

75 is los angeles ... it would appear that they're in alphabetical order?

Well they don't hurt, but the press in MA about headquarters was ridiculous - they acted as if it meant the jobs were leaving. And they have nothing to do with eachother, as Glaeser pointed out. Boston has a skilled labor pool and a diverse economy. Clusters of industries that are geographically...

Re: South Station Tower - Full Steam Ahead! No. She meant its dignity. Can't say I agree.

It's not Mcmansions that are cheaper in NC, it's everything. And MA has plenty of room for development, up and out. 40B allows developers to build at higher densities than zoning allows under the condition that 10% fo the community is 'not affordable' and that 20% of the development is...

Re: The next slum? yes, that happens all over the county. but look at what the article is saying and then think of what somerville really looks like. the article suggests that the desirability of urban areas may lead to the transformation of many suburban areas. that many suburban areas will...

The next slum? rikahlberg posted this on another thread but i dont think anyone took notice - i think it deserves its own: "The subprime crisis is just the tip of the iceberg. Fundamental changes in American life may turn today?s McMansions into tomorrow?s tenements."...

Even though Italy's population is declining overall ... I wonder if the demand for housing is up due to lifestyle changes, and if this demand is not being met because of a heavily regulated market. Anyway some lessons for everyone.

yes, suburbanites should be taxed with their share of poor people, to put it in his terms. heh. how should suburbanites be taxed more in terms of their consumption? i guess gasoline taxes are not enough - what else does he have in mind? costlier parking? emmissions taxes? what new papers does he...

Nope, 'the worlds shortest railway', still not open. Dont know when it's coming back. Since it goes down the eastern side of Bunker Hill to the mostly latino old downtown area around spring street there may be some nasty politics involved. wouldnt surprise me. also just a hop skip and a jump to...
