Other than this article's assertions - i'm not sure that theres any data/analysis that backs up the position that millionaires are fleeing. If anything the secondary indicators (tax revenues) seem to indicate that the millionaires are staying put (or potentially making more than ever since the...

I read that article this morning - she ends up looking like a flip-flopper and, somehow, Marty seems like he did a better job at keeping things going and staff happy than Michelle: An 11 person mutiny is kind of huge.

I recall there being a drainage inlet there - is it just not kept up and full of trash and debris?

That *is* what we have for all the cities that have been permitting housing with inclusionary zoning: brand-new homes for every part of the income ladder. Some for ownership, mostly for rentals.

This is such a weird obsession by the Globe/Boston.com. Spite houses exist the world over and it seems awfully pointed that they keep on going after the Greek family.

That is a non-Keynesian approach, at worse, and maybe possibly a low-tier Keynesian approach. Let the housing authorities rip - the Commonwealth can fund non-Faircloth restricted units - let 'em rip. And, get Faircloth out of here, too! That being said, I think new housing should be accessible...

Doubtful that it is so localized to these policy decisions. On a macro scale, we're still seeing construction loans of 6 to 10% and mortgages north of 7%. All of these factors - in an area with high labor costs (another macro/external factor) - will be equally a burden if not even more...

Healey, as perhaps the best and highest most representative of the investor and developer class (aka the Epstein class), clearly is messaging that they won't have anything to do with a "burn it all down" approach either. They don't want to lose out on the possible rents, but, they are not going...

What indication do you have that this will be the case? Algorithmic improvements seem to have a decay interval that often lead to bankrupcy post VC series 3.

Who would run this? surely not Amtrak. CCRTA isn't ponying up for it. SRTA??? I know that crayoning is fun - I enjoy it regularly - because it leads to thinking outside the box. However, crayoning and reality are often two very different things - a sober and critical analysis is necessary in our...

I guess the states instructions will be to pretty please just work from home or your vacation home on the Cape.

Really robbing Peter to pay Robert kind of moment

Seems like he read Abundance before writing in this response.

I've always wondered why they had that extra platform. Kind of crazy that it's taken this long to get a project that will connect that pre-built platform to an actual rail line.

That would make more sense at least for the difference. It is still surprising to me that the Somerville Zoning map isn't more ambitious with the zoning at this corner that is just a block or two from the Green Line station entrance and next to a large civic campus.

I peeked at Somerville's zoning atlas and I am thoroughly surprised that the "spite" property is zoned the lowest intensity residential use. I would think that the entire area around City Hall would be zoned for more dense development. Did the spite property owners get some change to zoning so...

FIFA world cup is a mostly commercial megaevent - however, it is something that late-stage capitalism has become fairly adept at procuring - the bread & circuses of it all. While it may have some complexity - let's not get confused about the calibre of Operation Overlord versus a largely...

What an odd analogy. Say more about how relatable this is?

This seems so odd - premier global event where no politician (or rich person supporting this) at the state or federal level is willing to cut a check for. Smells so funny. Are they going to go-fund-me the costs?

that's our federal government, isn't it?
