Sure, not every student is a problem, but let's be honest here: plenty of them are. Ever been to Mission Hill on a weekend, or lived near a party house in Allston (where there's almost one on every block)? I've lived near the Fens, in Mission Hill, and lower Allston, as a student and an adult...

Huh. Didn't the developers make a big show of selling only to locals?

Real quick: 1. Ventriloquize works just fine. Look it up. 2. No, I meant grammar. Reread. (But it's becoming obvious now: comprehension, too.) 3. Again, not an accurate reflection of what he wrote 4. No need. Look it up.

You can't even ventriloquize him accurately. Check your grammar: his problem isn't that rich people "have the means of investing and becoming richer that are unavailable to less rich people because it makes the housing market more expensive...." His problem is that some people are using their...

You only quoted one fourth of his sentence. Pretty cheap.

Hey Boston, nice shots. Where are train track shots taken from?

Ha ha ha.

That document is really weird. But I think the dates listed for the last 4 phases don't make sense unless they're end dates: "8 months" of vertical construction between February and October 2016, when they start with the exterior; 18 months between October 2016 and April 2018, when the interior...

Great post, man.

Guilty as charged! Aside from the architecture and demographics, there's the future cost of fortifying it against the effects of global wa..... errrr, nevermind.

I don't understand this response. As I said, hotel construction is booming in Boston (and Cambridge), and doing so at a far greater rate, proportionately, than housing. Housing, at least for people who actually live here and don't make a pile of money, is more important than hotels. I never...

Geeez, man, the zoom on your camera is ridiculous. What is that, 600?

Disagree strongly. More hotel rooms are fine, I guess, but the most pressing need this city has, by far, is housing. Projects that change their planned hotel rooms to apartments are good, not bad, and if the city is going to interfere in the construction industry, it should be to encourage more...

I think those have to be the end dates for each phase. The figures don't match up otherwise. If excavation begins in Feb. 2016 and takes 5 months, why would they start vertical construction in October? It also says that they anticipate the midrise (30 Dalton) will be done halfway through phase...

There's a model from the MT sales office at the end of that slideshow: http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/blog/mass_roundup/2015/09/top-of-the-hub-check-out-millennium-towers.html#g20 Seems to confirm that the mechs after the top-floor setback are substantial... ....but it also makes the roof...

Re: One Seaport Square | Parcels B-C@Seaport Sq. | Seaport I think the chief benefits of this area are going to be the public space (if done well), the lessening pressure on the housing market (however little), and the concentration of the young, corporate demographic in one place. They are, on...

Re: One Seaport Square | Parcels B-C@Seaport Sq. | Seaport Hate to say it but given the demographic buying there, isn't that appropriate?

Re: Congress Street Garage Development | West End Question, if you don't mind: Does that mean one year from now, or one year from groundbreaking? If the latter, it broke ground in mid-January, so we'd see it start rising in a not-too-agonizingly long amount of time. Dearly hope it's the latter.
