I'm very skeptical if a full tunnel would ever pass the cost-benefit analysis. Cut and cover would shut down the path for years. TBM would be less disruptive, but also require deeper stations. Arlington can grow, but can it grow so much as to justify a Red Line extension? Can Lexington, for that...

This is, hands down, the best development of the decade.

This is a good looking building. Shame it's not 100 stories tall.

These all just remind me of this:

LIC is such an odd place. It has all the hallmarks of a real urban neighborhood. Yet it's so new that much of the character isn't there yet. Most of the people who actually live there are well off enough to spend their time elsewhere. Not to mention, many of these buildings are straight up...

The second to last picture explains the massing. From that angle, it looks like it's a natural, vertical expression coming from the rail terminal. From a distance.... not so much.

It's fantastic. My only nitpick is that the outline of the land/water borer is needlessly choppy. It clashes with the clean lines of the transit. I will always hate bus lines on a map like this, but at least these are as low-key as you could get.

What, exactly, is a "hi-rail vehicle access tunnel"?

This is objectively not true. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/12/business/distressed-office-buildings-buyers.html

Pennsylvania really got urbanism right.

For all the complaints that it isn't what was advertised, it IS a very nice space. Just needs people.

I've extricated that useless discussion. Please keep things on topic. If you really disagree with someone, block them.
