Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Do you have any figures to back that up?

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End I think the key word there is "slow." So the best realistic scenario, if you follow this line of reasoning and allow a ton of core luxury-building, is that outlying regions will become somewhat less unaffordable for...

Doubtful you'll see anything along the BU corridor before Kenmore except maybe a new academic building next to the College of Arts and Sciences. BU had planned to put up a tall new dorm in West Campus but those plans are on hold indefinitely.

Weird. Don't they need it to install more glass covering at the top of the north face?

Two ideas for fixing this: One is for the government to put the finger on the scales. Require and subsidize more affordable/family-sized housing. The market is always going to serve first the people who need it least, which means the market is inadequate to the problem. The other is to...

The finished cladding will make this look better, but I still think they messed up by using darker cladding on the lower portions of the eastern and northern faces. There are moments when low and bright directional light hits the building and erases most of the color difference between the...

Re: Skanska Fenway Project (Burger King) | 1350 Boylston Street | Fenway Oath also just opened up a new store in Coolidge Corner, right across the street from Otto's. Is that their MO or something?

I'm no sushi connoisseur myself, but for a very good and not too expensive alternative, if you don't mind the trip to Cambridge, I'd recommend Cafe Sushi near Harvard Square.

Nice to see this popping up. It's also visible from the St. Mary's Street overpass by the BU Photonics building.

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Sorry to keep this going.... Fitch, try to read more carefully. I said there are some people on here who are worse than the typical "NIMBY" Globe commenters that some people complain about. That's all I said. I didn't say archboston was worse than...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Respectfully, you're wrong. I don't know what Citylab is, but I was referring specifically to the "NIMBY" or whatever-they're-called commenters on the Globe site that certain people complain about here, not what gets blocked. So yeah, I think...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Yeah, that's pretty nasty, but unfortunately of a piece with "terrible excuses for human beings" and a million other ugly things he's said since he plopped into this forum like a turd in a punchbowl eighteen months ago. Like I said in another...

Re: General Electric HQ | 244-284 A Street | Fort Point The are pro-development people just as nutty on this forum.

Re: DOT Parcels 25, 26, 27, 28 Kneeland Street Warren isn't a Marxist (you obviously know nothing about Marx), and isn't a "feminist-maniac" (you obviously know nothing about feminism, or psychosis). Your height-worshipping rants are bad enough, but can you please keep the alt-right garbage...

"from whence" is redundant.

Wonderful pics! How did you get up there? Place of work?

Also worth noting that the vast majority of outbound Amtrak riders board at South Station.

That last shot is spectacular. The composition, texture, and light--just really well done.

Exactly. People have been selfishly grousing in the same way, with the same words, for two hundred years. These complaints, about garbage picking or hoarding at a charity givewaway, are textbook stereotyping. One person has bad experiences with a tiny handful of poor, first-generation...

Really, really sick of people saying that no one has a "right" to live wherever they want, like it's some kind of drop-the-mic argument. No one has a right to build whatever they want, either. People have a right to petition their government for redress. It's a fight over what happens to the...
