    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    The fact that there were too many people enjoying the space speaks to the quality of the development I feel. I do think it's funny how negative the sentiment is on Reddit about the building lol, especially compared to how positive the discussion has been here...

    Other People's Rail: Amtrak, commuter rail, rapid transit news & views outside New England

    I also like what NYC does with the mentally ill on the streets. I think purely voluntary solutions will never be enough to make sure people get the help they need. Hopefully this kind of outreach wont be lost when Eric Adams goes to jail himself lol

    Other People's Rail: Amtrak, commuter rail, rapid transit news & views outside New England

    These are empirical questions that I can't answer a priori. LA Metro is already stepping up enforcement so we will have some more definitive answers soon. It's at least not unreasonable that crime could drop, if it takes significantly more effort to get into a subway car, then maybe the...

    Other People's Rail: Amtrak, commuter rail, rapid transit news & views outside New England

    I think that was very clear in the article Almost every violent crime being committed by someone not supposed to be there is surprising. I would have expected drunken brawls or whatever from the (probably) majority of paying riders to have accounted for more than 6% of the total violence.

    Longwood Center (Joslin Place) | 360 Longwood Ave | Longwood Medical Area

    Rviving an ancient thread cause I happened to be in the area lol. Definitely like how this development has turned out, restaurants below seemed to be buzzing around lunch yesterday. Hopefully the cancer hospital going up nextdoor looks this nice

    State Street HQ | One Congress | Bulfinch Crossing | West End

    Hopefully such a view, if common among many other people, leads to the conclusion that we need more new structures to improve the massing aesthetic, lest we end up like Paris with Tour Montparnasse lol. You could probably have made a similar argument about the prudential as it was going up...

    Biking in Boston

    Yikes, always scary to see something like this happen on a route you use often. Hopefully that area will be changed for the better soon

    I was gonna say that BSL-2 didn't sound super specific, just from observing the academic side of all this I suspected most biotechs would need more than level 1 to do basic viruses and animal work but wouldn't need the level 3 certification for tuberculosis or whatever else.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    I ride the C branch intermittently and have some positive anecdotal evidence from the weekend, first time I've seen someone pay with the AFC 2 readers at a backdoor :) Other than that, I've literally never seen another soul pay from the back doors where the operators aren't looking. Hopefully...

    Boston Common Overhaul

    I think in a lot of ways many of those cities you've mentioned have it much worse than Boston in my understanding, not that I've spent any time in SF recently. They all accept this problem and the proposed solutions have been very limited in scope and, in my opinion, lacking in vigor and...

    Boston Common Overhaul

    I don't know why the city accepts this kind of degradation in one of its biggest tourist attractions. The number of stabbings every year in this corner of the park is unacceptable

    Two Financial Center

    Maybe the bet is that WFH will permanently dampen demand for traditional office where at some point in the future demand for lab space might return as the one class of office that demands occupancy. Not sure I would take that bet personally tho lol
