Yes, and the fact that this is mostly about the student athletes would have to be mentioned in any good faith argument here. Shouldn't the students in a wealthy world class sports city have world class facilities? I could see lesser cities being unable to afford it but not Boston.

It would suck to be chained to a desk, period.

Well I am sure a tax hike in Boston won't effect you

The Lower Neponset is a Superfund site as stated in an article posted earlier. There is PCB contamination behind the two dams that will be removed at Lower Mills and near the old paper mills along River Street. Apparently, they dredged the river here in the past and dumped the contaminated soil...

You are using the US debt to criticize Massachusetts. We have no part in that. We are a "donor" state. Your problem is with the "debtor" states https://rockinst.org/issue-areas/fiscal-analysis/balance-of-payments-portal/

Massachusetts law (Constitutional Amendment Article LXIII & MGL Chapter 29, Section 6E) mandates a balanced budget for each fiscal year, preventing the state from carrying over a deficit. So what debt are you referring to?

I remember when he was floating ideas for 360 Newbury, an interesting one was a cocktail glass tipping over onto the Mass Pike

I agree with your point but in 1733 the site of the current 1872 Trinity Church in Boston was under water in the town of Roxbury.

I don't understand. At the expense of what 30 units? I am just suggesting that the city might remove a rowhouse that is in the way and fill in a gap somewhere else. If they have free land and the developer wants it gone, then maybe it might work and actually create 3 units in a quality of...

It also gives 1 Cumberland a reprieve. Isn't it strange that they wrapped this hotel around a single townhouse? I think it is architecturally significant and it should be moved. The city has Community Preservation funds and plenty of 2000 sq ft vacant lots

Weren't they going to tear down the handsome old bow front at 1 Cumberland Street? Did they actually do that?

I understand the point but it also must be noted that over 100,000 NH residents are willing to sit in traffic every day and hand us 5% of their pay just for the privilege of working in our state.

No, your argument was that they are absolutely overpaid in this state and we should use Texas as a guide to pay them less

Spectacle Island and the Quincy Quarries both received dirt from the Big Dig. Dorchester was denied fill for an early version of Pope JP2 Park and to cap the illegal landfill that is now a park near the gas tank

I disagree that something so small is killing multimillion dollar projects and that we should all be like Texas.

Yup, it has gotten so bad that even an electrician can no longer afford a house in either Massachusetts or Texas. The margins are so thin that the modest amount that they must pay these guys brings development to a halt

BTW- Paragon's old wooden coaster "The Giant Coaster" has just closed down at Six Flags Maryland. It's fate is unknown

Is she confused? Are these units being subsidized by a tax break?

This is the price of success and I think it needs a solution on the scale of the Big Dig or the MWRA project
