Yes, and there is thousands of small lots to build on in the neighborhoods outside downtown and developing them will not stop a single large building from being built. Also, some people prefer that type of housing and building it is still viable. We are seeing the high end go flat because it is...

Speaking of taking forever, could we get Andrea Campbell's okay for a few no-bid contracts for the Mattapan Line like the one Bob Kraft got? This is year 8 of a 10 year project and we only have a 15% design

If you live long enough you will see everything. Quincy Center was largely hollowed out by the mall nearby (and the shipyard closing). It seems that after 64 yrs of competition, Quincy Center is somehow in a better place than the SS Plaza sustainably and it will be the Plaza that has to change...

https://www.dotnews.com/2026/the-worst-or-a-teddy-bear-providing-neighborhood-glue-two-views-on-future-of-mattapan-trolley-line/ It has taken 8 years to get to 15% design and they don't have a funding source so maybe they should just keep the old trolleys

Keeping in mind that the vast majority of jobs in the area are not in the inner core, so that only pertains to that fraction of our much larger market. I think that another part of the problem is that our generation insists on bigger, fancier housing. People used to raise families in apartments...

Promoting SFHs never crossed their minds. The neighborhood is over 90% renters, the largest percentage in the city. Homeownership builds wealth. They are telling people that they can actually own some of these and that there will be new affordable apartments for rent Edit: clarity

So who actually wrote that article UHUB or Dot News? Anyway, Simco's is a walk up hot dog stand on Blue Hill Ave with the same hours, that has been there forever. They rarely have these kinds of problems so I will assume that the neighbors must have a point.

People are still being buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery but all the plots have been sold and they need money. They couldn't carve up the site for burials because it is too rocky. This is right next to 157 Granite Ave so it will fill in this area a little bit. It is great because it has Red Line...

Because we are one of the most important sports cities in the world and not exactly dummies. If they didn't listen to us Fenway would be gone, Patriot Place wouldn't exist and they would both be playing in a Megaplex where the Seaport is now.

I thought Wynn owned the land. Anyway, here is an audit of the 1999 in lieu of taxes agreement for Gillette. Notice that Foxboro actually now owns the land, and Kraft has a 35 year renewable lease on it for 35 more years coming up fairly soon. Also the $68M state portion of this would be almost...

It is not corporations that we should worry about locally it is another exodus or "brain drain" of graduates like that which happened in the late 80s until about 1998. The problem with fixing it is success and the ensuing spike in real estate prices.

Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a...

It is unknown if something else could have been built because it was zoned as a port facility. If there are any other questions, then I suggest actually reading the thread. The only allowed use under law is now a soccer stadium. To change that you must change the state law and then expect that...

Lahey Clinic ripped down the back of Mission Hill and then moved to Burlington

It won't get scrapped, this will probably go to binding arbitration today. Boston will probably get a little bit more than the low ball and then there is no reason why this won't move forward

That's the point. Why is a guy privileged to be born in Newton against White Stadium? The answer is that some people have a pathological dislike for Wu, so White Stadium is just a way to get at her and if they screw over the poor kids, too bad. Boston kids deserve the to have their Newton North...

The only thing I completely disagree with is that Wu is trying to "extort." She was given the right to negotiate for the city through an act of legislature that the Kraft people lobbied for. He could have built it somewhere else on land that he owns.

I reminds me of Crosspoint (originally the Wang building) in Lowell

Maryland gave $500M to the Ravens. Yes, we should be like you guys. The taxpayers are on the hook for 5 White Stadiums with no public benefit
