Do you mean one-pedal drive, a quasi-manual drive feature, because that considerably reduces brake use. Regen braking relies on the driver to practice well-timed and proper deceleration, it doesn't change how the car reacts. I drive an electric car and I go through brakes faster than in past ICE...

Handsome, proportional, contextual, could be a beautiful addition. After seeing so many fancy/sleek renders seriously fail to live up, I hope this old school one undersells it.

Ok, but what if Boston rolled the dice, got some real infrastructure improvements funded and in the pipeline, and then was selected? The Olympics create far more problems for the host city than they directly or indirectly solve, and the IOC's contract terms ensures this will continue, so I don't...

I like the lines of the building more than the material finishes as presented. That orange-y brick could easily look as dated as orange shag, and faux balcony rails on even the fanciest builds often appear cheap and tacked on. Here's to hopin'!

Thanks for the shot, Cole, great layering. I'd take 10,000 bow-front townhouses over 1 ugly stack of corrugated boxes.

A balcony where you'll work, near the cube where you normally work, is not going to lure me back into the office. But with the bloom officially off the rose with the millennial lure of 'a beer fridge, a dog washing station and sleep pods that no longer smell like farts', it's not entirely...

JP looks great, real variety of styles. I agree that's a fine 3-family in img 9319. Many thanks for the pictures, Beeline.

"I also feel that Ruggles is deserving of a large-scale air rights development, and we should similarly be striving for a large amount of residential density if such a project ever occurs." You need to find a developer willing to take a mega hit and load up said transit-topping-towers with...

$10 says Boston will continue to let Millennium Partners fill the skyline with boring blue glass nothingburgers, shiny self-storage towers, as developer and City are comfy bedfellows now. The very best this thing can look is from a distance when it appears to meld with Millennium Tower and is...

Yikes. (Clears throat and looks about nervously) I mean...infill. Hooray!

This tried-and-tired design needs a lot of work. Boston doesn't need another bland curtain wall mid-rise.

Yes, my friend, the people who shell out top dollar to live in the Seaport are tripping over themselves to draw bars to the area so the Vineyard Vines 20something set can piss on sidewalks and bark at uber drivers at 2am. Someday you'll be old enough to appreciate a quiet place to live, but...

Ok, you're on the high-speed hyperbole train this morn and I don't have a ticket. Enjoy the holiday.

Easy on the us-vs-them homily - and re: such an innocuous comment - it's preachy and rarely makes the 'us' look better.

I like how at the right angle the fin looks like a sail. It's a nice touch.

I don't see it as being off to the side at all, but rather commanding a very prominent spot. As noted by others, if the neighborhood is allowed to grow up around it this mid-rise will fade in a bit, I won't argue there, but it'll still stick out as funky/clunky to me. It's confusing and rather...

Nice picture! Couldn't care less about the new tenant.

Ok, as I thought, thanks. FWIW, this isn't the end of Shrewsbury St people want to hang out on; it's loud and auto-centric and Belmont St becoming more of a highway only exacerbates this. I'm not a huge fan of what they plan to build, but it makes sense.

Piccadilly had a roof deck?

Lots of sports are represented in this new neighborhood, so if it lacks a mega-stadium (that likely involved a billionaire dev getting a sweetheart deal to build a stadium that sits empty 80% of the time), I'm okay with that.
