    Local Politics Thread

    She is definitely using her political capital on White Stadium, Madison Park, and the public school reorganization in general. That got her 70% of the vote. So, I think that she knows that she would get criticized about bike lanes in certain neighborhoods either way.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    I disagree about Flynn because he didn't have control over the cuts that were made when things started spiraling out of control particularly when they found that giant erratic boulder in the way of the Ted Williams Tunnel and the fallout from the failed "Scheme Z." I think that Flynn would have...

    Biking in Boston

    "Concerning next steps, the project team will work to dig deeper into one design to focus on in the feasibility study. That study will be presented to DCR, which owns the roadway and would be responsible for implementation. DCR would also be responsible for securing funding for the work, which...

    Biking in Boston

    Yup, Blue Hills to Boston. The town worked with the state and stakeholders to come up with what looks like a really good plan. Is there something I am missing here?

    It was predictably old people and they have their reasons. “At this stage in their lives, stability, sunlight, privacy, and peace are more important than ever to them,” said Angela Terzides, their daughter. “Their preference remains to continue living in the home they have cared for and...

    The only loss I see that matters is the loss of a housing unit. It is irrational for anyone to care about one floor in this place either way

    Maine Mall Area Development Projects

    The adults used to take me to the York Steak House in the Westgate Mall in Brockton, MA in the 70's. I loved it. It was cafeteria style, you would get a tray, tell the lady what you wanted and how it was to be cooked, and she'd put a little marker on your tray. You would then move down the line...

    Did you know that you can buy a unit in one of these even if you make over $120,000 for one person? https://www.csndc.com/housing/properties/capen-norfolk-homeownership/?portfolioCats=64

    Tallest Buildings Out of the Ground and Growing

    What I find interesting is that during every other correction, saturation in the local commercial and high end residential markets dragged all other construction down with it. That doesn't seem to be happening. I think it is the demand for middle class housing, and unfortunately the region...

    My understanding was that they finished demo in late 2025 and started construction in 2026

    The Garden had notoriously bad sound and sightlines so it was also unfit for concerts. Both of these arenas are in essentially the same urban place, that takes the sting off. The history still happened in that same place that I can go to watch a game

    Redesign the Urban Ring

    I think after Boston Medical it should not go to Widdet Cir but go south on Mass Ave where it meets the Fairmount at Mass Ave, then to JFK/ UMASS and the commuter rail south, and then follow Columbia Road to City Point. It would serve thousands more people

    Patriot Place | Foxboro

    This is getting crazy. How could they expect the modestly sized town of Foxborough to cuff the Krafts $8M bucks for security for private events at their "privately financed stadium?" https://www.universalhub.com/2026/foxborough-krafts-shut-your-dirty-lying-mouths

    Armstrong Property Proposal | 10 Plain Str. | Braintree

    I didn't know that Braintree was building 220,000 units but the state is and vast parking lots represents what not to do

    Armstrong Property Proposal | 10 Plain Str. | Braintree

    It raises the legit questions of where will we build the highways needed for 220,000 units with this much parking and who is this being built for? The average person in Braintree couldn't possibly afford this

    Northeastern University Multipurpose Athletic Facility | 262 St. Botolph Street | Fenway

    Well, the old building will be gone but a new better Matthew's Arena will still be there, in that place, with what's left of the original facade.
