Not going to lie, the color is growing on me. Maybe it's weathered enough or something, but it looks less jarring and more like a faux marble now.

I think it'll be if/when the Northeast Megalopolis solidifies, the NSRL will be a no brainer. Obviously looking to the far future here, but NSRL is a future proofing scheme. As temperature rises, we'll have more people move to NH and Maine, who will probably look at NSRL more positively than others.

Anyone getting involved on bluesky? I just joined and would love to see some more Boston Urbanism and Transit on my thread.

I think it's time for Mass to find a new Rail representative. A lot of people who push for progressive transit law are the same people pushing for trans rights, esp in the Boston area. I definitely retreated from support for Moulton after his comments, and I assume a lot of others too.

I feel like that first quote you included seems like a bad faith argument. All of the other examples can also be explained away with "it's just another tunnel" for New Jersey, "another highway expansion" for Arizona, "another airport expansion" for Chicago. All of these projects would make...

Woah that's awesome! Seems pretty cheap, and it's helpful that you can pause rentals Very nice, I'm a fan. Has anyone here tried this out? @ceo, maybe this is your solution?

This got me thinking, I wonder if we'll ever see a cargo bike share as an option in a city. I doubt it would be feasible, but there are some wacky ideas out there. Maybe UHaul offering cargo bikes is the first step.

I like the insinuation that every hour in Massachusetts is sad when there is no happy hour.

You're acting like Brokers are an integral part of the rental service, but they really aren't. Obviously there will still brokers in New York City if this bill passes. New York is in an interesting place right now, where there is a clear leader in NYC apartment hunting (StreetEasy, who is...

As lovely as this would be, I think elevated train lines would probably have more pushback than at-grade or subway lines.

Big shoutout to Chi for this! He's been pushing this for at least a year, and I think most renters in NYC are optimistic about this passing.

I think this might be a street where drivers would appreciate a bus lane. If you're driving on Morton St, you really don't want to be in that right lane with the bus stopping so often.

What is the car traffic like for the Morton St/Blue Hills intersection right now? I know that used to spew cars from the Flames/24 Hour Pizza side of Morton St, but with the deconstruction of the Casey overpass it may be less now. Also, is that 24 Hour Pizza front still on that corner? Always...

I really don't see this changing gentrification and rising rents in Mattapan. It's going to take a lot of work for those who would gentrify to look past the "Murderpan" nickname/reputation that still haunts the neighborhood.

Makes sense they're going to cut most of the height for Building C, the Heath side presents more neighborhood NIMBY problems. Is that a height increase for building B or did the original render just not include it from this view?

Totally see you on finding the balance. I think it would be better to just fix charlesgate rather than have to fix it on your map, they're kind of assholes for doing that to you. Mt Auburn Cemetery draws a good amount of people not looking to pay respects. I know it's big in the birding...

Lol I honestly had to look up where that was, I can't believe I didn't know that was near Middlesex Fells. Makes sense that Franklin Parks other zoo would be worse. Honestly I think Buttonwood Park Zoo might be the nicer Zoo in the state. But it would make a lot of sense to put a nature center...

I'm not sure who the intended residents are, but considering there are a lot of BU students in that neighborhood, and drunk students love throwing things off of heights, I'm sure there is a possibility they may have to deal with some projectiles.

I don't know if anyone has commented on it before, but I love the inclusion of parks, esp. the Rose Kennedy Greenway. Makes it feel like it has more presence in the city than the reality of it actually being a park in the city. Would you include the green of the Comm Ave Mall? It's a bit thin...

I'm not sure if I see the need for a overhaul of the Zoo, or even the continued presence of the Zoo as it stands today. The Franklin Park Zoo has always felt a little shabby; it hasn't made any "best of" lists that I can find, when people are in town I never think of recommending the Zoo as a...
