This is an absolutely improper thing to do with census data. The census includes college students as residents of Cambridge.

Yep, borders are everything. Allston/Brighton is similar land area to Somerville (4.4 sq miles vs. 4.1) and population, so it has a similar density, but Somerville gets all the credit for being one of the densest cities in America because of borders.

By far, the more reasonable concept to me seems to be that people will work in their cars and use that to live further out. Buy 2 hours outside the city, start your commute at 8, working in the car 8-10, be in the office from 10-3, commute back and work from 3-5 in the car.

Well, he eliminates a driving lane instead.... with parking eliminated in places where there is a need for a turn lane.

The American Chemical Society has its meeting in Boston in August every 3-5 years. Lots of complaints from attendees about getting to lunch from there. Walking along either Summer Street or World Trade Center Ave, you are under the beating sun at its highest point in the day. I'm young and don't...

Re: North-South Rail Link +1 on the Copley to Back Bay. Although, the two platforms at Copley aren't even connected right now, so you would have to go above ground one direction unless that was addressed. Copley is where all 4 green lines meet as opposed to 3 at Kenmore, so slightly more...

Re: Alexandra Hotel I would argue it very much does have to do with that question. Redevelopment probably has a higher return and would value the land at a greater price. Refurbishment would be costly and have limited returns, making the site much less valuable. Based on previous efforts, the...

B&T is reporting that NB has filled their old office building and has a letter of intent for office space in the skating rink. The article also discusses some of the nearby developments and general Allston multi-family market. Some angles on the residential I haven't seen posted...
