Related, the condo sales next door at 12-16 W Broadway seems to be slow with only ~14 of 42 units closing according to the Suffolk Deeds site. There was a gap of a couple of months before the three or so that closed this week so perhaps they're just not done with all the interiors but .. would...
Cities, or states/federal government?
When you say "cities" funded them, you are contrasting that to today where private developers are called upon to fill the gap of public funding?
PS. Related Beal built 100 Beverly 100% "affordable", of course, but only b/c the land was given away (being...
I read that a Leggett McCall rep was the only person to show up in opposition to the proposal to put a recreational marijuana shop at 591 Albany St, arguing the location was in a "transitional" neighborhood.
Probably just lip service; I can't see how that location would hurt anyone.
Proposal...
Coming along but the top floor build out has seemed slower than usual to me (I can see it from my apt window). I did see a welder out there on a recent weeknight at 11 pm so .. something's happening lol.
I'm having a hard time figuring this out in my brain so if anyone has some information .. please!
Here's an image from Flickr circa mid-1950s.
This is the elevated going in front of North Station (and in front of whatever that building was called on the right, not Manger, right?) facing...
From the City of Boston Archives Flickr page. Proposed but not built, waterfront edition.
Several (mid-rise) towers that never got built, among other things.
I couldn't see these anywhere on the forum so hopefully not dupes.

Perhaps shutting down Storrow Drive inbound but leaving outbound would be an alternative? Outbound can be used by commuters at rush hour.
Having a green line extension seems somewhat logical and could benefit our transit system in multiple ways.
Could it be used as a way to get from Kenmore...
Surely someone in Hollywood has proposed Meryl Streep as Jane Jacobs in an anti-Robert Moses movie, no?
(Yes, she's 20+ years older than Jane Jacobs was in her prime, but they still look enough alike, no?)
This is one of the primary problems with the new tax proposal by the District 1 city councilor. She says that "owner-occupants" will be exempt from paying 6% on any sale.
How do you track that in any way shape or form that is easy and accurate, on a new building?
And, what if the seller...
The issue for me isn't raw cost but believing there is an actual need, so I guess cost-benefit.
No one wants anyone to fall into the pit, but it seems to me it happens once or twice a year, in Boston, or perhaps it's more often but doesn't make Twitter or Universal Hub.
It seems overkill...
True, but not true.
True, they are "investment" pieces in that they are second (or, third) homes, but there are a lot fewer (lol) "shell companies" and insidious foreign investors in these buildings that those scary people would have you otherwise believe.
