    If 2 sentences comprising 68 total words falls under the "too long didn't read" category then I truly fear for our society. https://wordcounter.net/

    Midtown Hotel Redevelopment | 220 Huntington Avenue | Back Bay

    Maybe if they turned it on its side and built 2 of them, with a park in the middle. The cladding was OK but the proportions were brutal. I have to come back at you one more time. I guess this development isn't happening because I didn't like it. Apparently my opinion has the power to get...

    Midtown Hotel Redevelopment | 220 Huntington Avenue | Back Bay

    I assume you're talking about me although didn't know who this was without looking it up. I'll let you know I still have a full head of graying hair, thank you very much. Here's how I picture you, but I gotta admit you do it better:

    General Massachusetts Politics Discussion

    The boat can't hold the entire world before sinking. Walking in asking for a handout doesn't make somebody an American. There's a right and a wrong way to do it, and we allow more people to come in the "right" way than anywhere else in the world. Your view here is radicalized (maybe too much...

    General Massachusetts Politics Discussion

    Somewhere in the vicinity of 10 million people walked in between 2021-2024 and our state paid the equivalent of over $100k per person annually to help "resettle" some of them here. What the hell are you talking about? Seriously, what? This is maybe the most misinformed post I have ever read...

    Was cruelty also the point when our state spent a solid billion dollars every year since 2021 on taking care of illegal immigrants, and now claims it can't afford to fund necessary programs for needy Massachusetts/American citizens? I feel like we'd be fine if we had actually prioritized taking...

    Skylines and Developments of the US/World

    To me, a plan to demo 2 of the city's 7 500'+ buildings doesn't exactly signal a recovery.

    Midtown Hotel Redevelopment | 220 Huntington Avenue | Back Bay

    The hotel should be replaced, but a squat hulking landscaper just ain't what the doctor ordered. I'm happy this proposal failed, and hopefully they find a LOT more inspiration whenever they do go back to the drawing board.

    Cambridge Crossing (NorthPoint) | East Cambridge/Charlestown | Cambridge/Boston

    To me the issue seems obvious. There isn't a single building to draw somebody in who doesn't already have to be there. The forms and proportions are worse than we get in the Seaport, which has extreme height limits but also attracts people because it's right by the water. North Point doesn't...

    General Portland Discussion

    I stopped by here with a friend of mine yesterday after hiking Douglas Mountain out by Sebago. He had never been and I was excited to show him the overall architecture, density, vitality, scenic viewpoints, and convoluted layout that lends itself to exploration. While I did convey all of these...

    Boston in video games

    One Financial directly to the right of the Federal Reserve. In the second pic it looks like 1 Federal is peeking out to the far left. In the first pic I think that's 100 Summer to the lower right of 100 Federal. Also in the first pic I see 101 Federal just in front of 100 Federal, where it...

    Vega (MXD Residential ) | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    Does it still have the large glass panels up? Those essentially ruined this view for me, especially at night with the glare. I'd like to go back if they ever get removed. It already looks very tall "for Cambridge" from up close and all sorts of viewpoints. I went right up to it Friday night...

    Riverside Development | 333 Grove Street | Newton

    The very first thing he does is badmouth the Hancock, one of my favorite buildings of all time. Not for me, and neither is instagram. It's not your fault 98% of the pipeline is complete crap and you do a nice job updating us. On the other hand your enthusiasm for some of these mediocre...

    Riverside Development | 333 Grove Street | Newton

    I understand getting rid of the labs, but a bunch of 5-over-1 landscrapers is as uninspiring as you can possibly get. Once Vega is completed there's almost no point in coming back to this site anymore. It's just pages and pages of 5-over-1 tinderboxes. I hate clicking through most of these...

    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

    I'm putting this here because I honestly don't know the answer, and couldn't find it online. Every time I uploaded the pic the cities it claimed it could be didn't have the exact same building. https://media-production.lp-cdn.com/media/rbjslv7aivmukxavlgmmpp8u
