UPDATE: The top five traders on the City Hall Market are as follows: 1. bostonhistory 2. kmp1284 3. merper 4. statler 5. CH Stinks Bostonhistory is still cleaning up and the three front-runners are Government Center with renovation, Government Center as is and South Boston...

I'm just glad this whole juvenile piss-fest is in its own thread now. If we just keep being as polite to each other as we've been since Skyscraper Guy, we'll be alright.

I'm not qualified to address this as any kind of housing economics expert, but as I see it, your equation's logical flaw is that it attempts to solve a problem by creating a system that is completely unresponsive to that problem. If the market only responds to the demand created by rich people...

We have three investors in the City Hall relocation market. So far, air rights and the Southie Waterfront have risen while Government Center has fallen the most. Get involved! http://home.inklingmarkets.com/market/show/2851

Dude...let's drop the "you're so dumb" crap. The public benefits do add to the cost, but I would argue that it is reasonable for the City to put them in the development guidelines as a way to guarantee a development that provides high quality of life. The trick is to make sure the project gets...

Re: I don't agree with that assessment I don't know much about the Hynes' revenue or whether it pays for itself. However, I'm pretty sure that it's actually gained in shows and events since the new one opened. If anything, having two helps both, because conventioneers have started considering...

Still not up...

Because I think it'll be great to be able to find all City Hall discussions down the road, maybe this discussion belongs in the City Hall thread.

That's the wrong question. Whether City Hall is functional as is is beside the point if you're going to remove its current function. What matters is whether it will be able to perform another function. I think the answer is yes. Given some investment, City Hall will function very well as a...

How bout Hayward Place?

Dude...chiiiilll.

Whether it's good urban or crappy urban depends on what's on the ground floor. If your definition of suburban is crappy urban, then I suppose I agree with you.

This is a lot of things, but it is not suburban.

Love that he's "of the West End."

I had to go with the elegant simplicity of "test".
