More than regrettable, it's a piece of shit, a slabby version of that turd on Mass and Main. If you are gonna say "fuck you" by building another luxury tower at least give us something to look at rather than say "double fuck you" in the form of another value engineered piece of crap designed for...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End I think I'm going to start canvassing that building to try and get them organized to resist any sort of redevelopment/displacement plan. This is my new mission in life, to preserve 65 Martha - a wonderful...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End What I find disgusting about odurandina's comments is that many people living in 65 Martha are on Section 8, and many of them are elderly and/or disabled and the kinds of people who would get displaced out of the city...

Re: Mass + Main | 415 Massachusetts Avenue | Cambridge

man, even the alcoholic bums are being priced out of this neighborhood by classier alcoholic bums.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett Who needs a study when you have Ben Affleck and Hollywood showing us that Everett is clearly a bunch of boarded up crack homes with murdered abducted kids inside!

Seeing this go up makes me wish they could get something built on the church/carwash lot and redevelop that annoying speedway lot. That would bridge the gap nicely to the Henderson Carriage building and create a very impressive streetwall on Mass Ave all the way from Porter Sq to the two big...

I'm not saying it isn't interesting to see, just unsettling. I think it's because those building are such landmarks and feel like they've always been there, long before I was born or aware. This differs from seeing something that I saw get built because I got to see the subtle progress. When you...

is it just me or does anybody else get an unsettling feeling in their stomach when they see an iconic building like the Fed or the Hancock Tower in a state of being constructed? I can't really explain it because I love seeing pictures of big stuff that recently went up like MT.

Some of the rent increases are here now according to my facebook feed. They generally range from 500$-1000$ a month. One place went up 2000$ because they turned the common area into a "bedroom" and classified it as 4BR rather than 3.

This is true but only from certain angles, such as Memorial Drive in Cambridge. WTC dominates lower Manhattan from everywhere due to it's overwhelming height. There are numerous angles of downtown Boston where MT is practically a non factor.

I wouldn't really call that "crap lighting". Maybe not the most photogenic but it's the sun, what are you going to do? I can't help but feel as if that project really slipped under the radar though. I followed Union Sq developments closely starting a couple years back and feel very much in the...

What a dumbass. If he's going to justify price gouging by citing a nearby high paying industry he can at least pick the right one - the 85 bus goes right from these apartments to tech jobs in Kendall Square. Somebody with a high paying job in the financial district would be better off living on...

Haha. Honestly I love it. It falls under the category of "so bad, it becomes good". I wouldn't want stuff like that all over the city but out in Fenway surrounded by college students it's an interesting curiosity. To keep from getting off topic, I echo the sentiment in support of this new...

If you think MT makes 1 Lincoln look bad, what does that say for Radian? To think that a couple years ago that building was a significant addition to the downtown skyline... From the north I think you can see a similar and possibly more dramatic effect on 33 Arch. The height difference is only...

If you want to see the same angle of the skyline that you'd get from a Volpe observatory - albeit from further away - sneak into Peabody Terrace building 2 and take the elevator to the top floor. Because the elevator skips floors the hallway is on the edge of the building and it has big glass...

Shopping at Star Market is such a buzzkill. You do it because it's so convenient with it's location and hours but with just about anything you know there is a better quality and cheaper option within the vicinity - McKinnons for meat, Pemberton for produce (same price, better quality) and Market...

This is a bit simplistic, an apartment can be accurately priced and still turnover a lot. Plenty of landlords would rather collect the most amount of rent on a monthly basis than have a stable tenant. Because Boston's vacancy rate is so low due to insane demand, they are never going to have much...
