Isn't the whole point to fund a community college? Their outrage seems a distraction

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but not in the design of this building

Or Wellesley could just cut the college a check for it's fair market value and then decide what they want to do with it. Winners all around.

There is another standing piece on the surface artery at Marketplace Center and Clinton Street. My memento is a piece of rusty green rebar that got stuck in my wife's bumper

There are no quantifiable benefits because they will not talk numbers, much less study it and that rhetoric shows what I mean. Here's some AI numbers for ya: $70 million in road improvements in 2000 is equivalent in purchasing power to approximately $131.76 million today (2026), representing an...

We live in a bottom line society where half of the people who work full time for many large employers qualify for food stamps. It is unfair to say that other places don't have our labor problems because of the unions, and not point out that in Japan and Europe they have an appropriate social...

"While the project’s demolition is complete, abatement and subsurface utility foundation work are ongoing, including upgraded power, water and telecommunications infrastructure set to finish this fall. Bond Building Construction Inc., the construction manager-at-risk for the city’s east half of...

Near zero quantifiable public benefit from Foxboro but it has cost the taxpayers millions over the years in transit and roadwork. Look at the World Cup, some seats cost $30,000 and they now expect the taxpayers to pay for their security. I actually like the Patriots and attend games but I do not...

That's surprising

The Hartford area itself is insanely wealthy in contrast to a few sq miles of the city. The difference in walking two blocks between Hartford and West Hartford is rather amazing. However, I like the city, it has good bones, and I really like the area

We should also note that, as pointed out a million times, there is no way of quantifying an actual public benefit to NFL stadiums, unlike White Stadium where it is all spelled out in the lease agreement. https://dotnews.com/2026/02/11/citys-white-stadium-costs-put-at-135m/

Well the capacity of White Stadium for soccer is 11,000, but for concerts it may approach 13,000 to 14,000 and also Boston Calling draws 40,000 to 50,000 per day at Harvard Stadium

$325 million in 2002 is worth approximately $585.55 million today, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index.

Another benefit is that it will be the 4th or 5th largest venue for concerts or events in the area with all the proceeds going to the city

I love this ironic quote from Wilkerson who is a convicted felon and was in imprisoned for extortion: "It's not about what's right, it's about what's required."

Dorchester, which has more people than Cambridge or Lowell, also has more people than Hartford but is 3 times smaller in land area.

500 units of housing, a new ER, and a bigger Dot Park is all good. It would be fantastic if they could partner with Laboure College in Milton. They have a great nursing program that used to be at the Carney.
