    Maine Mall Area Development Projects

    The adults used to take me to the York Steak House in the Westgate Mall in Brockton, MA in the 70's. I loved it. It was cafeteria style, you would get a tray, tell the lady what you wanted and how it was to be cooked, and she'd put a little marker on your tray. You would then move down the line...

    Dorchester Infill and Small Developments

    Did you know that you can buy a unit in one of these even if you make over $120,000 for one person? https://www.csndc.com/housing/properties/capen-norfolk-homeownership/?portfolioCats=64

    Tallest Buildings Out of the Ground and Growing

    What I find interesting is that during every other correction, saturation in the local commercial and high end residential markets dragged all other construction down with it. That doesn't seem to be happening. I think it is the demand for middle class housing, and unfortunately the region...

    Tallest Buildings Out of the Ground and Growing

    My understanding was that they finished demo in late 2025 and started construction in 2026

    Northeastern University Multipurpose Athletic Facility | 262 St. Botolph Street | Fenway

    The Garden had notoriously bad sound and sightlines so it was also unfit for concerts. Both of these arenas are in essentially the same urban place, that takes the sting off. The history still happened in that same place that I can go to watch a game

    Redesign the Urban Ring

    I think after Boston Medical it should not go to Widdet Cir but go south on Mass Ave where it meets the Fairmount at Mass Ave, then to JFK/ UMASS and the commuter rail south, and then follow Columbia Road to City Point. It would serve thousands more people

    Patriot Place | Foxboro

    This is getting crazy. How could they expect the modestly sized town of Foxborough to cuff the Krafts $8M bucks for security for private events at their "privately financed stadium?" https://www.universalhub.com/2026/foxborough-krafts-shut-your-dirty-lying-mouths

    Armstrong Property Proposal | 10 Plain Str. | Braintree

    I didn't know that Braintree was building 220,000 units but the state is and vast parking lots represents what not to do

    Armstrong Property Proposal | 10 Plain Str. | Braintree

    It raises the legit questions of where will we build the highways needed for 220,000 units with this much parking and who is this being built for? The average person in Braintree couldn't possibly afford this

    Northeastern University Multipurpose Athletic Facility | 262 St. Botolph Street | Fenway

    Well, the old building will be gone but a new better Matthew's Arena will still be there, in that place, with what's left of the original facade.

    Red Line Extension to Mattapan

    My crazy transit pitch would be a station between Milton and Central, with entrances to both, that has a pick up/ drop off at Eliot Street on Milton Hill. The pedestrian bridge would cross the river approximately where the dam is now but is currently being removed, and hopefully it could have a...

    Red Line Extension to Mattapan

    A station ideally located could have a pedestrian bridge over the river, access to the Neponset Rail Trail, Dorchester Village, Milton Village, and the Central Ave areas of Milton and Mattapan. One actual Red Line station would be better than multiple trolley stops on the wrong side of the river

    Red Line Extension to Mattapan

    I am sorry I missed this. I never said that I thought it wasn't possible or desirable. I just said that the measurements on a 100 year old document cannot possibly be valid today and you should be compelled to agree. There clearly needs to be a new study. Yes, the embankment would need to be...

    Carney Hospital Redevelopment | Dorchester

    Senator Nick Collins, a member of the Joint Committee on Ways and Means, this week voted to advance Senate consideration of the BRIGHT Act, a major higher education infrastructure bill, while filing an amendment aimed at building a new facility for UMass Boston’s nursing program on the Columbia...

    Quabbin & MWRA Water & Sewer

    That's correct but the MWRA has to approve any plan and they are pushing back. I think there should be complete separation but it will an expensive project either way

    Quabbin & MWRA Water & Sewer

    Cambridge doesn't get primarily get water from the MWRA but it's sewage is treated at Deer Island, and there is an effort to separate the storm drains from the sewers to minimize discharge during heavy rain events...
