Fuck my NIMBY neighbors. Instead of a great local facility, we still have a giant empty warehouse.

But the EB-5 program doesn't just apply to real estate, it can apply to any project. And it doesn't involve buying condos. The investments to qualify for EB-5 are in the developer constructing the building...

I'm still of the position that Cambridge needs to get over their excitement about tax revenue from commercial in this area and start pushing for building a lot more housing around Kendall. You don't need buses or trains for commuters when they can walk to work.

Re: The Icon (née Western Ave Residence) | 530 Western Ave | Brighton Being marketed as "Radius Apartments"

all the convenience stores still have them. my guess is the mbta is just phasing out random stations having them because they always wanted people to get them from convenience and grocery stores anyways...

BU doesn't own those buildings...so I'm very confused by this statement.

Boston's map of properties says it is owned by the BRA.

Left side of level 1, right below the retail.

This rendering seems to say no.

Most definitely not. That would be a violation of NB Development's purchase of the land from Stop and Shop, which put a restriction on the land for 30 years from the 03/30/2016 purchase date. NB (really Rail Spur LLC) is not allowed to lease to a supermarket or anything similar. The 30 year...

I mean, we should also note this from the article: So, it is being constructed in a manner where it can be eventually moved... which is a whole set of weirdness, but makes it less temporary (if they actually follow through on moving it).

Lots of towns outside 128 are building more housing and growing. Billerica, Bedford, and Chelmsford all show growth between the 2010 census and the 2016 5-year ACS estimates. The notion of GenX people moving out of the burbs is also weird. Ignoring that the youngest members of that generation...

we're only the same rank we were in 2016... 2015: 6th 2016: Tied for 13th 2017: 8th 2018: Tied for 13th

In tall buildings in Allston, my experience has been that people on the top floors hear concerts and bands practicing, while the lower floors are insulated by the 2 and 3 story buildings around them. The Pierce is on a busy street, so I'm sure the lower floors get lots of street traffic and the...

?? Many of the things you argue are debatable, but the fact that Tesla's quarterly statement shows they lost around $700 million is not. Depending on what accounting method you want to use, that range could be $650 million to $785 million, but the fact is, they aren't making a profit. Their...

For me, this is the best way to understand BU's holdings on Bay State

I'll add that Warren St/Allston St/Griggs St are in the area of Comm Ave Phase 3/4. If the MBTA and Boston continue to coordinate in regards to these phases, there like will be consolidation and improvements there. Eliminate Allston St and you have taken care of 2 platforms on the list...

I have a Stylish set up to allow me to read it? Will occupy 430,000 SF in the L4 block once building is complete in 2021. Have an option for L5 block's 610,000 SF which will complete by 2025. They'll get a $5MM property tax break from the city for hiring the 2,000 and an additional $5MM if they...

Addition to West End House

The Jaguar/Land Rover Dealership is on the BCDC agenda tonight if anyone is interested in pushing back on this ridiculousness. http://www.bostonplans.org/news-calendar/calendar/2018/05/01/boston-civic-design-commission-meeting
