    Hull infill and small developments

    I think that works for western suburbs but gets a little murky for places on the harbor. Hull is as close to downtown as Nahant/Lynn. I do agree though and I put Hull firmly in the outer suburbs in my mind. Traveling from downtown to Lynn is all city where going to Hull takes you through Hingham...

    Hull infill and small developments

    I hope they maintain the active retail that's there now. Walk up windows for food and wide doors that open up to the arcade are essential in this spot. Glad to see added density but honestly don't want more Florida-like condo mammoths that are going up at Revere Beach. I think density can be...

    Porter Square Infill and Small Developments

    It's a good time of year for a little spring cleaning.

    Open Space | Turnpike Parcel 21 | Chinatown

    It's well utilized when they provide a reason for people to go. Halloween in the square is a big draw. Regarding long term programming, I think the trillium stall on the Greenway is great, and perhaps otherwise dead parks should be lined with stalls serving food and drinks to draw people in the...

    Harvard Club of Boston Redevelopment | 415 Newbury Street | Back Bay

    But there is something being built in their "backyard" and it was modified in response to their complaints, although I don't know anything about the supposed "bullying" that happened. In my humble opinion, it's sufficiently urban and appropriate for the site given the number of floors and...

    Harvard Club of Boston Redevelopment | 415 Newbury Street | Back Bay

    Can't say I blame them. This isn't like a complaint about shadows on the Common. It's between seeing the sky out your back window or a wall.

    The Seaport Canal

    Nor I, but intuitively it seems like it would provide more circulation which would help give dead-end canals like Fort Point an occasional flush. I often wondered if the reason why Wollaston is the absolute worst beach is because the marshes and causeway out to Squantum allow shit to collect due...

    Residences at Readville Station | 1717-1725 Hyde Park Ave | Hyde Park

    Yes, the whole area is kind of tired and ragged. The residential side streets are pleasant, and I understand why neighbors are concerned about negative impacts, but developing all these old industrial sites would really tie the room together and give Readville more of an identity. Wolcott Square...

    Brookline Infill and Small Developments

    I'll have to check out in person. It looks like they are covering the building with plywood.

    West Cambridge / Alewife Area Infill & Small Developments

    Those small businesses embedded in the neighborhood are what make pre-war sections of towns and cities interesting. Harkens back to the days before driving everywhere, when needs could be met on a small, local scale.

    1033-1055 Washington Street | South End

    Are we hoping for brick rowhouses here? These large buildings are pretty much the standard for any sizable parcel. Would more interesting shapes and breaking up the facades help? I think given the context, it's pretty solid and I like the depth of the facade and cladding, with the offset...

    I agree. Just having a little fun. Didn't mean any disrespect. 👊

    Worcester | Canal District infill/discussion

    There's opportunity to turn Madison St into a commercial corridor to tie Kelley Square to the park, but not with this plan. Urban development, courtesy of people who don't seem to think or care about cities. Just a small, single story space to fill that gap between the garage and sidewalk would...

    WBZ-TV/CBS Studio Development Project | 1170-2000 Soldiers Field Road | Allston

    H How so? Don't think this will ever be a retail corridor.

    Hood Business Park | 480-570 Rutherford Avenue | Charlestown

    I appreciate and am encouraged by your optimism and agree there's good stuff in that render. Still wish the building heights along Rutherford were at least equal to the distance across Rutherford.
