Just starting from a "Visit New York City, not JFK/LGA/EWR Airport" viewpoint would do so much

I wonder whats going to happen in the next couple years when the minor colleges get bought out. BC bought Pine Manor, UMass bought Mt. Ida, BU Wheelock, etc. Newbury college closed, but with the exponential growth these colleges are looking for, who's going to live in boston?

the same auto folks who would demand an auto crossing are the same people who don't want more traffic on the island and wouldn't want their town to have to deal with the construction and subsequent traffic that a new bridge/tunnel would bring. Honestly a rail tunnel would skirt a lot of that...

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but The Gothamist just posted an article about a HSR proposal from NYC to Boston in 100 minutes. Obviously this is talked about a lot, but this was a pretty unique map: The blue line is the proposal, and it's obviously kind of a silly map...

then why does guy fieri have 2 liquor licenses /s liquor licenses are honestly the biggest issue with nightlife in the city and at the end of the day a huge issue with the development of Boston. In a city like NYC where liquor licenses are dealt like candy, it just helps upstart restaurants...

Just saw this article saying that Senator Julian Cyr is putting forth an amendment allowing Happy Hour in our Fair state. Thoughts? I'm always down for anything that could bolster Mass nightlife.

I would love if Mass followed California's lead (damn I never thought I'd say that) and pass something along the lines of SB 423. SF just lost their strict permitting process since they were too slow to build new units, and for suburbs like Brookline that are too picky with their zoning, it...

An additional reason the legal/code spaghetti can be tough to navigate could be inside players using safety/accessibility as reason to further their own agenda. Easy to sugarcoat a law that would better your pockets by using safety and accessibility to obscure one's true motives. And more...

The price difference between US and European elevators is jaw dropping (as well as the unnecessary work the unions have won), but I wonder how the ADA comes into play with those elevators. My experience with a great number of hotel/apartment elevators in Europe is that it can be difficult to fit...

As cute as those were, I could not understand everyone hyping up the MBTA for those googly eyes. People from the "protest" were talking about how this was proof that they listen to citizens – seems to say it proves how easily they could listen in every other scenario

I know Brookline loves to dead-end to keep Boston roads from entering the glorious Town, but too snooty for Newton now?

I was more thinking the Boston to New Bedford route rather than the other way around. I'm sure the city is much more focused on tourism/transit dollars entering the city, rather than providing park and ride parking for New Bedford residents trying to leave.

this might kneecap the efforts for some to use South Coast rail as a connector to the ferries out of New Bedford. I know the NB ferry companies were lobbying for the line to terminate right near the ferry terminals near JFK Memorial and I'm happy they have some space so transit riders need to...

Honestly naming the terminal access road after Bill Russell would be final slap in the face for the Russell family. I know we've already named a route to the airport after another of our sports icons, but just the road to the airport would not do justice for that man who was a hero despite a...

I'm glad they're not changing the now iconic shape of the control tower. It's funny how it has become a unique image of the airport at this point.

right here, but considering the mess Pine Manor was in before BC bought it, it's possible Mt. Ida had a satellite campus

i want to say that CVS on the corner of Hammond and Route 9 is sometimes listed as Newton, but the neighborhood of Chestnut Hill is making everything confusing (as it often does)

Honestly with that building across the street that Tatte is in, this isn't even that crazy of a move. 4 floors to 6 floors isn't that much of a jump.

it looks like a flag hanging out of a frat house. Just do a yellow wordmark and that would be more striking and more attractive

I've always dreamed of those townhouses next door to extend all the way down route 9, maybe this would be a good starting point? Even just knocking down that wall would be nice, i get why a school needs it but opening up brookline always makes me happy
