I might be speaking a little soon, but right now BU and Northeastern are competing for Boston's best project completed in 2022 in my opinion.

Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere else, but I couldn't find it. Last week, the MA State Senate passed amendments to Senate Bill 2819, which "requires the MBTA to begin the process of electrifying the Commuter Rail network". The amendments were authored by Senator Brendan...

Crazy. My previous Brooklyn apartment was a 6 story walkup. 52 units.

That little wedge right there is my dream 300' zero-parking apartment tower TOD proposal.

Some good GJ content on Twitter

Did the MBTA ever try to have the developer of the Union Square D2.X project build the new Union Square station? Perhaps it would've required too much coordination, but it seems like it should've been possible to get a far better, enclosed station at no cost to the state, in exchange for an...

The Edgerly Place developer should takes notes.

Don't recall if there were updates along the way, but this seems to be coming out even better than the renders on page 1. The silver fins have almost a Deco-y look.

Walking directions from about the midpoint of the parcel to Andrew station. Insanity. Edit: Not to mention a 10 minute walk from Newmarket if pretty minor station improvements were made.

Except for those ground-floor garages :confused:

Funnily enough, the building they tore down for this was from exactly 1970. Wasn't the prettiest high school either, but it had a certain modernist charm to it.

An NYC perspective on public meetings: Having a very active local YIMBY group like Open New York makes a world of difference. It's kind of quiet season right now with the start of a new city government, but when there are important rezonings and residential projects going through the review...

Imagine if all of Cambridge Crossing was going to be looking like this. (Or Dorchester Bay City for that matter. Or the Longwood Place proposal.)

Honestly pretty maddening that Boston City Council feels the need to slow walk such important reforms. You want to incentivize affordable housing development over market rate? Great. Find a way to do so without continuing to inflate everyone else's construction costs and subsidizing car...

Devastating. One of the places I always made sure to visit when back in town. Was just there with my family right after Thanksgiving. So glad I went now.

What a confusing system. Just arrived at South Station and realized I couldn’t find my Charlie Card with 3 minutes before the Alewife train I needed would arrive. So, I bought a Charlie Ticket from one of the new kiosks. Approaching the fare gates, the left half were the traditional gates, and...

It’s NYC’s PSAC II, but less committed to the bit.

Quite the news this morning. Charlie Baker is apparently not running for reelection. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/12/01/metro/baker-telling-allies-he-isnt-running-reelection/?event=event25 Anyone know how Maura Healey is on housing and transit?
