Thank you for your consistent updates. These aren't exactly my favorite projects but I appreciate all the pictures you provide of Everett, Revere, etc.

To those of you giving Wu a 100% pass... What is the tallest building proposal that was approved in Boston since she's been mayor? It's been 4 years and 4 months and it seems like the tower pipeline died with Janey and never resurrected under Wu. There's been a high demand for residential...

I don't know exactly where to put this, but I have been doing an exercise in my head for the past 15-20 years where I basically do a run through of all the tallest buildings currently out of the ground and growing in the inner metro (think Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, but also Everett for the...

That's all well and good, but that leaves this entire yellow-highlighted section to still be dirty, and dirty it was. It was actually my first time walking through the Jewelry District (assuming that includes through the Children's Museum?). Even though the highrises seem to be RIGHT THERE...

They must not make it out to the Children's Museum and general area that opened up from removing 195. I couldn't argue with her there. The sidewalks were filthy. Westminster is the only street I really notice that's typically clean. I love that street but further from it can get pretty bad...

I meant Portland Maine. Congress Street is basically the "main" street although in some ways isn't, and sits on top of the hill. The area towards the Old Port is the good side of downtown, but also has essentially a tent city across from the arena on Spring Street. However, the backside of...

I took my kids to the Providence Children's Museum yesterday (they were a little too old at 9 so it wasn't too great for them), before wandering to downtown and eventually eating at Blake's Tavern. The city felt bigger than it ever had and I was personally impressed with the scale, scope, and...

They're currently building a dorm at Tufts with almost 700 beds. https://archboston.com/community/threads/tufts-residence-hall-401-boston-avenue-medford.7223/

As you say, the view is the real attraction here. The city model is cool, and it's nice to have an outdoor section, but the view is the same as before. Obviously many people like going to the Top of the Hub for that specific dining experience. Personally, I never went up there but instead...

If Boston wasn't there, and/or instead was some shittier city, all land within commuting distance would be substantially cheaper. That's what it means, people are paying an absolute premium to live in Metro Boston, not because a town like Holden has more to offer than any other leafy suburb in...

It's not my town. I only knew where it was by pulling it up on the map. I could drive to Boston in the same amount of time it would take most of the Holden residents to drive to the commuter rail.

To me, keeping the forests intact serves the health of the state. I don't want to clear cut forests to put up some barely-dense housing when we should instead be telling Boston to turn their 3-6 story housing proposals into 20-50 stories. It also meets the "green" mandates better to have more...

It's probably a 10-20 minute drive to the last stop on either line. From there either line is well over an hour to Boston. So we should somehow treat them the same way we'd treat, say, Woburn, which is about a 25 minute ride? Also I looked and they would have put housing at a rock quarry...
