    Brookline Infill and Small Developments

    It’d be more understandable if the current reality of that area weren’t so wildly different from that description.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Would be an even better angle if it weren’t for those vents! Edit: Oops. Looks like Bananarama beat me to the punch.

    Commuters Ditched Public Transit for Work From Home. Now There’s a Crisis.

    And add tolls to 128 while you're at it! Maybe 495 too.

    Mildred Hailey (Bromley Heath) BHA Redevelopment | Jackson Square | Jamaica Plain

    This complex is right up against the Southwest Corridor, so in a sense this was always destined to be “tower-in-the-park” -esque.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Walked from DTX to Park yesterday through the connector and found it strange that all the walls are lined with fences. Anyone know what’s up with that? It made the stretch kinda ugly.

    City Hall Plaza Revamp | Government Center

    They should put a bunch of picnic tables in this space! Why wouldn't you put stock in the anecdotes of a person who lives within walking distance of the plaza and spends time in it weekly? Not to mention we have plenty of photos like the one I quoted above that show how empty the plaza is at a...

    Skylines and Developments of the US/World

    Eh. The relationship between it and its neighbors is very Toronto-esque. I don't mean that in a good way.

    Amazon Office II/SeaPAC | 1 Boston Wharf Rd. (Seaport Sq Parcel L5) | Seaport

    I dunno. I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with a person bringing an animal or a small child to work. They would just need to be able to do so in a way where said animal/child would never have the opportunity to disturb a coworker, and admittedly most modern offices I’ve worked at...

    Kendall/MIT Infill and Small Developments

    Be sure to stumble over to Vitamin Sea after and explain to the owner how you intentionally avoided his establishment because he's a dick!

    This development captures Watertown's brand perfectly, then!

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    Is this true? Driving my initial inquiry is my impression that NSRL feels meme-like these days. The thing that basically everyone wants and has been talked about for over a century but isn’t happening any time soon. If I had to choose between the project never happening in my lifetime or the...

    General Infrastructure

    Yeah. I consider myself a pretty anti-car, pro-transit and pro-safety dude. But even I usually just return to whatever speed I was at within 1min of slowing down for the hump. I’d love to see data on the extent to which speed bumps actually reduce accidents in residential areas with already low...

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    So I’m sure that the info exists somewhere in the thread, but 153 pages are a lot to go through. I’m wondering: is NSRL 100% reliant on the state’s ability to secure federal aid, or would it be possible for the state to fund the project itself over a very long time? In general, what is the...

    Quincy Infill and Small Developments

    This photo confirms for me a long-running suspicion I've had: that front yards are a huge waste of space. Seriously. How often do we see people utilizing the greenspace in front of their houses? If you ever host parties, or grow vegetables, or partake in any other outdoor activity around your...

    Well there’s no need to be a jerk about it.

    Lawrence Developments

    Huh. I just kind of assumed that it was all Lawrence and the author just got the city wrong. Color me actually confused now. Why are two different cities being discussed?
