^ The best new development in Boston, in 2025. It proves that things are being over built and that everything does not need to be high end to "pencil in." The parking spaces, the bloated size of most other units, and all the unnecessary bells and whistles are as much of a problem as zoning or NIMBYs

It is a fact that they didn't fire him when he was on their payroll so they own it

Don't forget that the Boston Herald once compared the kids in this area to an escaped gorilla. Or was it the other way around? Anyway, I am not the least bit surprised that they would like to sink this project. But who cares? Nobody but your crazy uncle reads the Herald any more

The newspapers were like that. It was skilled and you got paid more because you could get severely injured doing it.

The genesis of NIMBYism in a neighborhood is different from those who mostly live in hi-rises. They believe that all that will be built is luxury apartments, and that they will be rich people's investments, so they see no reason to support it. However, I personally think that you can't stop a...

Well, that would be great because that is what he is good at, but I hope he does sell it because 30 yrs of on-field mediocracy is quite enough

My personal conspiracy theory is that Kraft is going to uncouple the Revs from the Pats and sell the soccer team. It seems odd that he would build a stadium that is already too small, but has expansion built in. Why wouldn't he just build it all now?

This is essentially the reverse of what happened with the referendum in Milton. Eventually Marblehead will also get sick of hiring expensive lawyers

This couple built a 14 unit micro apartment building for under $650,000 https://www.dotnews.com/2025/frugality-keys-couple-s-aim-affordable-rents-fields-corner

As recently as two weeks ago, the town had intended to submit a 10% plan and then try to convince the state to change their rapid transit designation. A citizen's petition forced a vote on a 25% plan and then it passed. It seems that the area near the trolley line will see almost all of the...

You need to back off

I am saying that a subway should be a subway when it is near a body of water. You shouldn't be so obviously offended every time it is mentioned

This is an example of why we should never again build roads or mass transit right up against the Harbor or any of our urban waterways. That includes the Neponset and a potential extension of the Red Line from Ashmont. Running a subway train at grade there would be, in many ways, just as short...

I would agree the Mattapan Chronic is the line. It is where the old mill housing stops and where housing was built after WW2, from Mattapan Square, on marshland
