Yeah I'm hoping someone's got a really good one, I meant to go take some nice ones but I have continually chosen to be lazy lol

Semi related, does anyone have a good picture of the building, it's been lacking one on the Wikipedia list of tallest buildings in Boston for some time now

Looks like the Boston of optimistic architectural renderings ❤️

Love to see it, if only more neighborhoods would allow single family home plots to densify 20:1...

I think that sounds right to explain why there are so many gated entries relative to boardings. Every station where there are more entries than green line boardings is one that also serves as a stop on a different line. At the stations immediately before a branch (Copley/Kenmore) we see...

See that's what I want to know, allegedly getting rid of the gates in the original designed allowed for simpler station and contributed a large amount to the $3B -> $2B value engineering towards the end of the design process. My intuition would have been that fare gates are much cheaper than...

Passes and charlie cards are not yet compatible with AFC 2.0

Does anyone have a rough estimate (i.e. order of magnitude) for how much implementing fare gates could cost? I remember seeing figures somewhere it would be something ~$1B to modify the stations, but curious if anyone has any newer insights.

That's good to hear, but now makes me question the rest of the list 🤷

Man, I don't know if I'm more impressed by metro Boston's 8000 units under construction or appaulled by GREATER LOS ANGELES only putting up 9000 lol. Some things surprise me less like Dallas out building NYC 3:1 per capita

You can check Expedia if you wish, but it doesn't really change the conclusion, this time with tax and fees included and whatever else, there are still a plethora of 3+ star hotels for less than 150/night in SF. But that aside, I do openly have an agenda in that I'm making a point Boston has...

just filtering for 3+ star hotels, there seem to be plenty in and around Tenderloin for unspecified reasons lmao

I think they just read the numbers off of a booking website, so Im leaning no

While those numbers are certainly exaggerated, I do remember seeing a survey of prices last year with the conclusion that Boston has the most expensive hotel market of any major American city (at least the highest price floor, I bet the ceiling goes way higher in NYC). I would still like to...

I see I see, hopefully it survives 🙏

I think there's a lot of hand wringing over nothing but like, I entirely forgot that Columbia road was even getting center running bus lanes. I have been excitedly watching for news about the Blue Hill Ave and Columbus Ave/Tremont Street center lanes but don't remember seeing this one. Are...

That's a valid concern for an ongoing problem that's only getting worse no doubt, but I will say though that its relative importance to me is small compared to affordability. My policy preference is that something like this be waived until the housing market problem wanes enough that its level...

It's bad enough seeing large portions of major parcels go towards corporate lawns, but like what are people going to do on 10 square feet of turf lol. The less-housing-by-any-means-necessary agenda is strong

The smaller above-ground stops on the C branch now have real-time arrival signs 🥳
