My Italian grandparents moved out of the North End and my Irish grandparents moved out of South Boston. Kind of the way of the world. Different cultures melt into America. that’s a good thing IMHO.

I’ll stop. I was just trying to point out that they are no different than others in wanting to maximize financial return. In the same way a tenant is greedy to want something cheaper than it is worth so they can have more money. No I’m not a landlord and not in the real estate business.

Shareholders of BeyondMeat get paid not BeyondMeat. It’s a market. Someone wants to borrow shares and there is a cost for that.

Whenever you stop labeling landlords as greedy when they don’t rent to folks at below market or decide not to rent a space when vacant because they have a bigger strategic goal. They are in business to make money. They must not be renting the space for some rational reason. I guess I take issue...

the landlord owns the property. The tenants lease it they don’t have a right to stay at below market rents. How about not cutting back every proposed development. Supply will moderate prices but we limit supply and this is the result.

This isn’t cancelled. JH is selling the rights to approved project.

Can that fit a double stacked rail car?

Political reality yes but actual reality means we need way more housing not less.

The foundation piles were placed in the 1980s when the MBTA renovated south station and installed high platforms. This was a decade before electrification.

Housing crisis solution: build less housing. Crazy

Shanghai has different areas. Pudong is the newer super tall area and the Bund and surrounding areas are much older and walkable urban areas. Nothing is one size fits all.
