    Jamaica Plain Infill and Small Developments

    If you don't want to see buildings when you're in the Arboretum, shouldn't the Arboretum buy all the land around it so you can't see those buildings? But wait, then that land would be in the Arboretum and you could see buildings from it.

    BPDA Austin Street Parking Lot Development | Charlestown

    It's interesting to compare this project to the Dot Ave rezoning projects, where they're planning parks along interior streets surrounded by towers of res/commercial and not putting them directly on Dot Ave. And Dot Ave is much less busy.

    L Street Station Redevelopment (née Old Edison Plant)| 776 Summer Street | South Boston

    The Southie busses are some of the most frequent in the City and have very short rides places you want to go.

    Bowker Overpass replacement?

    Is there a sense of when the contract will be awarded for the other half of the project, the pedestrian connections to the Esplanade?

    Tufts Residence Hall | 401 Boston Avenue | Medford

    This is great. So much housing and actual activation for Boston Ave instead of leaving it a wasteland of rail on one side and parking lots on the other. Height is the way to go.

    Assembly Square Infill and Small Developments | Somerville

    It does feel very strange that no one is proposing resi towers here, where it would be an easy sell and lots of $$ could be made.

    Alexandra Hotel Renovation | 1769 Washington St | Roxbury

    There's no hotels really in the South End, which is a pain for locals with family visiting and for tourists who want to stay in a neighborhood, especially given Boston's tight AirBnB rules. People are paying well over 300 a night to stay at a holiday inn off of 93 in Charlestown, near...

    975 Boylston | Mass DOT Parcel 13 | Boylston & Mass Ave | Back Bay

    Looks like a slightly more varied version of the Midtown Hotel redevelopment. Seems a little silly not to go much taller here, esp given the zoning for the bank across the street and what will likely come up at Parcel 15, but nice looking building.

    Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

    The 1149-55 Harrison Building is pretty crazy. 3 stories, surface parking, well below even the city's paltry density limits. Wondering what the story is here...exactly 10 units doesn't buy you relief, nor does limiting yourself to 3 stories?

    Alexandra Hotel Renovation | 1769 Washington St | Roxbury

    Boston has had one of the tightest, if not the tightest, hotel market in the continental US for years now. Construction costs would be hard to see given this building is already over 6 stories and needs a gut rehab. We can be friendly here.

    Alexandra Hotel Renovation | 1769 Washington St | Roxbury

    Why did they shrink the glass hotel portion? These developers are insane.

    Boston Tech Center Redevelopment | 176 Lincoln Street | Brighton

    Good case for off-site here given that offsite is literally 3 blocks away
