    That's a very weird opinion. What do you not like about the residential areas north of the pike? The industrial areas are already being redeveloped and consolidation of ownership indicates the commercial strips will likely be redeveloped as well. And I don't think anyone wants to blow up Harvard...

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    Re: North-South Rail Link Just to add to this, the Brookings data shows that the metro area inequality ratio is 10.5 rather than 17.8 for just the city. And we become ranked 6th instead of first.

    Amazon HQ2 RFP

    Most people's opinions is that we already have a housing crisis. If you can't afford to pay $10,000/year for your car, should you go shopping for a car that costs $12,500/year?

    Based on the site, I believe it is Harvard's District Energy Facility (often shown as DEF on various plans). The timing of when it would be built and what it would look like have always been vague to me, but there's some information in the filings about the engineering school. Hopefully someone...

    Any neighborhood where condos are being built, the 2 families are over a million and 3 families over 1.5 million. The idea that they are still a key rung on the property ladder is ridiculous at the moment. They no longer are buildings one can buy to make property ownership affordable by having...

    Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

    Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett The low low price of where it was a month ago. WYNN's 52 week low is still ~55% of the price after this sell off... Buying now is still buying into a recent bubble around their stock.

    What is your basis for this opinion? What councillors do you feel are more pro-development? Edwards being chair of Housing & Community Development is an actual threat by an anti-development councillor. Lots of projects were trying to be pushed through in District 1 last fall out of fear of her...

    The Worcester line already has express trains? They don't pass other trains, but for instance, the express 502 goes from Framingham -> South Station from 5:56->6:35, or 39 minutes. The local 508 leaves a few minutes later, and makes the trip from 6:04->6:58 or 54 minutes. So, the 502 takes 15...

    Parking Permits

    Boston doesn't have guest passes though, which was the question. What Boston does have are rental car passes for residents. The system doesn't really work well with ZipCar or weekend rentals though.
