But there should be some difference in construction price where that pencils out on a spreadsheet, no? For purchase housing would mean that the condo owner is mortgaging both the cost of the shell and the interior outfitting - regardless. It can't be that offloading the outfitting to the...

Is there a difference to US concrete and steel that makes it that much more expensive? It seems like US-influenced East Asia and Western Europe all do concrete at the 10-12 story height just fine.

So, I'm seeing people state that developers are stating that it doesn't make financial sense to build anything other than these two multi-family building types: 4 or 5 over 1 OR 20 story steel residential towers. I don't trust developers - they often make statements that are about the single...

The Elmer Bumpus bridge was built in 1982 - is it because there wasn't a good crossing over the tracks there historically?

It doesn't look like a lot of any construction is going on anywhere given the temps, weather, and the holidays as of the last month or so.

Never did they meet a bus did they?

This is development wagging the tail. Torono and Vanc can only build this high because affordability has been thrown out the window. They concentrate height near the heaviest polluting streets and near stations (which are almost always on heaviest polluting streets) without upzoning farther...

"Maximizing" "revenue".

Construction workers get vacations too?

They've been doing construction on-and-off since 2017 (?) so I suppose it's unlikely to be any sooner than it had been back then.

This is going to be like that Route 27/Route 9 interchange project isn't it? The interchange that will somehow eat all the green space and then need get supercharged into needing to do an eminent domain?

Has any of the news media posted the actual document of agreement? I am curious to know - if not - they really should be FOIAing this.

I guess that either Medford or Tufts stalled this?

The Arboretum is a more interesting place. The Public Garden is mid as far as gardens around the world are considered.

This almost looks like the Bowker?

Absolutely. Those blue bloody places are still not that interesting after all these years.

All this did was retraumatize me - remembering working through my declension tables.

But the t would be upset that they wouldn't have inaccessible stops if the 85 stayed longer than expected or if it was kept in because of the neighborhood resistance.

That's great - but - it's kinda weird that they didn't report on the Legislatures failure to appropriate general funds to the T as the T had budgeted.

I think the $10 weekend pass is proof that off-peak fares are too high. They really do need to do something to incent off-peak usage. Maybe monthly passholders get a U+4 free on off-peak or weekend trains. Alternatively, U+1 for off-peak fares, essentially making things a 50% discount?
