Sidebar your honor... it seems like some of our evidence has been tampered with. I was looking at some old NSRL plans and as I had feared, some of the North Point development parcels have absorbed previously spoken for tunnelling turf. Exhibits A and B... Obviously some of the...

Taking a breather from current events for a second, i.e. waiting for the Healey stance to be announced. Without getting into minutiae of what is immediately possible -- because there are a lot of things that would need to change for the ideal to happen (like fed-match, full electrification...

If only we had some sort of tagging system you could slice threads how you wanted. Yes... I agree there are often differing concerns about types of bike infrastructure and users. I am saying if someone in Belmont wants me to advocate for their path (and I would) and I live in Boston, I might...

From an awareness > advocacy standpoint, they should be one thread.

Just don't make eye contact. It gets really mad.

Yeah... Good call on mentioning this. Honest mistake. It's funny how rah-rah business-speak has crippled our language. This is clearly a failure of neo-liberal economics -- aka the usually blame-freed global free market. We as a nation decided to forget how to build light rail trains...

I think this might qualify as Herzog adjacent in that we're talking about baseball

Until the garage comes down that tower is going to look like a debutante in barn boots. I mean she's cute... and has rich parents... but what's going on down there?

We can only hope that this has has many people using it as Assembly Square does. There are some lessons to be gleaned from that comparison though. I see parallels in how car-centric ASQ is by design since it’s unconnected to anything else but the OL and a couple sporadic bus routes. Despite the...

How many cigarettes does a 1BR go for there? Tell me and I’ll put some money in your commissary account. Okay, fine… a few ramen flavor packs too.

...And not all brutalism is worth saving. Massive amounts of people objected to the destruction of the West End. Those thousands of people were generally poor, and therefore, ignored. This was built when a handful of grand egos met a fat developer bankroll and ill-applied state funds. The main...

I think I get it. This means we all have to pay for the cavity-searching, fourth amendment violation we didn't solicit or give cause for... in the name of security theater. Specialty retail. Solid euphemism. Will use. /snark. I've been inside to see the active part of Terminal E. It's already...

This looks like a byproduct of the stupid Pioneer Institute flavored SSX-NSX instead of NSRL chicanery. I will not miss Governor Milquetoast and his flowing red pen.

This already needs a road diet. This ain't Las Vegas. We don't need 40-mule-team turnarounds. As someone said above -- this is a CITY! And as F-Line said above Babcock needs to go all the way through. MASS Dot should build as though that could eventually happen whether BU wills it or not. If we...

If there is someone on the platform drivers will stop. I think it's okay that they skip if nobody is getting off. Shorter dwell times, faster trips FTW.

Winisimmit's just south of the Tobin, in Blobeto. Oh, you aren't aware of the hippest new urban enclave -- BLOck BElow the TObin. And I'll stop mocking realtor-speak when I'm damn good and ready!

…and The Garvey is in Traberebep

If anyone thinks that this area can't be something nice because of the oil tank view, please look at what Los Angeles did. This is Venice Beach in 1952: From Malibu on down... It's now some of the priciest residential real estate on the planet

The Vero and some of those hep apartments on Vale Street are in Chelsea according to Google Maps. Looks like the Chelsea/Everett line was formed when this area was still populated with ducks, clams and striped bass. Really thinking this area needs a new name. Cheverette? Eversea? Elsie...

Charlie Chieppo can suck his own tailpipe. I don't want to build roads near his house because they might partially get him to and from his job. I don't want to help fund fire departments in his town because they may save him from burning up. I don't want to hire state police in his district...
