As sophomoric as it is, I think we can all agree that we'd prefer to avoid this cheap and tacky siding infill that some developers prefer: I think real brick looks better, and can future proof better since a lot of the buildings like those above can be built pretty cheaply. We should try to...

First, using Chicago as a reference is pretty off base. They sold the rights to all of their parking spaces for 75 years. Second, the Curry interviewed in the article works for the Fines and Fees Justice Center, a thinktank (?) that is lobbying against all Fines and Fees. He's going to argue...

Legalize red light/bus lane cameras, allow for civilian reporting of parking in Bike Lanes/Bus Lanes as well as covered or obscured plates, and make police lock up their phones on duty and focus on the remaining dangerous drivers seems like the best case scenario here.

just saw a police officer totally ignore a car illegally reverse into oncoming traffic after making a wrong turn right in front of his squad car. He was texting while driving so he didn't see a thing. I'd be happy to have to pay fines for when I run red lights, since I don't intentionally run...

Yeah, the Brookline Police Department definitely tickets a lot, but I don't think it's out of their belief of bike safety, nor to create a more rule following state. Honestly, I think they're bored and it's something to do. I cracked up when I saw those "We stand with the Brookline Police...

I'm not in the place to plan this, so I guess I'll give a prompt. If Boston built a new Elevated Railway (an "El"), where would it/should it go?

I just don't think we need to throw the baby out with the bathwater over the last transfer of the night. I would be confident guessing that the majority of transfers in the system happen prior to the last call.

And would do wonders to add a non-corporate atmosphere to the West End (again)!

I just wish some of this money would go to worker pay...

Love the integration of the mansion as a central amenity. In towns bordering Boston, this could be a great way to maintain historic character while also building more. Too bad you need all the parking there but it's pretty necessary for the neighborhood. This has me thinking... how difficult is...

This is probably the smartest and most thoughtful method of being a cyclist, but I feel like it's a hard sell to many Bostonians. I know I'm a Pedestrian in Boston when I'm flipping off a driver who's being a knucklehead. I know when I'm a Driver in Boston when I'm flipping off a driver who's...

We are losing neighborhood dives to Landsdowne Conglomerates and National Chains. This current trend is on it's way to strip Boston of a great deal of it's character. Maybe it's up to the Historical Society to save our Tams and Silhouettes. I'd be happy to be a NIMBY for shitty chain...

I think this is the crux of the argument for me. Boston keeps turning into a city of CVSes and (I hate to bring it up again) Taco Bell Cantinas. Boston's food scene is kind of embarrassing, not because there's a lack of talent, but because the talent has a lack of money for the things they need...

I would guess ease of transfer and more efficiency. There's that brand new bus stop right in front of the Lyrik building, having an entrance/exit on that side will keep help limit the amount of pedestrians crossing Mass Ave.

put it up to a fan contest like they do for lots of expansion teams in other leagues. it'll save public face.

If it's working in the rest of the 49, idk why we wouldn't pass this law here.

I'm happy you get it and can speak from a landlord's perspective. American brokers mostly just need to do tours sometimes, or at the very most field texts and deal with some sort of payments. Some renters might not even meet a broker. Often they're a useless middleman, and the landlord hires...

Maybe SSX could be future proofed by having some temporary stub end tracks at South Station with the option to extend? It may put some pressure on the NSRL moving forward. But it's not like the "futureproofed" Bowdoin stop ever really put too much pressure on the BL extension outside of the...

that's why we should start wharfing the harbor again. More land, more space for housing, more protection from rising sea levels. And more waterside little shacks where they sell just oysters or just lobster or whatever else.

Maybe he has fond memories of taking the Red Line from Charles/MGH? Hopefully?
