    L Street Station Redevelopment (née Old Edison Plant)| 776 Summer Street | South Boston

    The final nail in the coffin won't be CLF, which has shown it can be bought off, but the two ignorant city councilors dead-set on stopping anything that helps anyone but natives of South Boston. Real-life commenter on Twitter, "If this project goes through, it will be the end of Southie as we...

    Microsoft's $500 million affordable housing fund

    The idea this would "stimulate" more housing is worth imagining. On its own, yes, it's ridiculously small .. $500 million is 1,500 housing units (but it's not $500 million b/c half (?) is going to "preserve" existing housing. Back of the envelope calculations is that there are something like...

    Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport 1) What's going in the empty parcel in front of 20/50 Liberty condos, behind the building housing Committee and the other restaurants? 2) I noticed they have allowed parking on all of the parcel next-door to District Hall. For awhile it was half...

    We're on D Street so in-between Seaport and South Boston, we use Peapods for orders and Foodies on West Broadway a couple times a week plus take-out. We don't really eat a lot of food.

    "Midtown"/Widett Circle in a non-Olympics Boston

    Should this be in the soccer stadium thread? The authors of this opinion piece from Commonwealth Magazine want the areas near Rt 93 and South Boston / South End turned into wetlands and opening up the buried Bass River. Join me in being amused/angered by the errors that I found too egregious...

    10 World Trade | BGI Office Tower (Massport Parcel A2) | Seaport

    Re: Massport Parcel A2 | Seaport And then this part isn't the "overhang" / Parcel D1, correct? It's the "triangle" where the construction offices are for 399 Congress are located, yes? The development rights went to a team led by John Hynes’ Boston Global Investors, which agreed to pay...

    🔹 What's Happening With Project X?

    I have not heard of anything like this .. as far as I know, you definitely stumbled on to something. Anyone? Odd that one of their images would be of their 20-storey building blocking sunlight onto a public park. The city assessor's website says that Morgan Memorial owns 333 Tremont but the...

    Unions are Good! Or Bad!

    Maybe it was in the other thread but someone wrote that the protesters started yelling at 6 am and I wanted to correct them. Also, having to travel to Everett or Quincy after your shift is actually closer than having to travel to West Roxbury or Roslindale, so what difference does it make that...

    Unions are Good! Or Bad!

    The protesters start at 7 am. They stop at 5 pm. Then they all get in their cars and drive back to whichever suburb they actually live in.
