In addition to what's already stated above, since the MBTA contract, CRRC has also won contracts with the LA Metro and the CTA. Pre-pandemic, they were probably on track to ramp up hiring and supply chain to accommodate them but now they have to proportion out scarce resource to fill the demand...

Just want to say that this guy is really booking it

That's new apartments in the city in general. The list I posted is within the city's downtown. It's in response to bigpicture7 post that highlight Boston should bring more apartment in downtown

In a recent study, Boston didn't even crack the top 20 in new apartments built in downtown since 2013. I'm a bit skeptical of the list that Manhattan and Seattle aren't on the list and Baltimore is. If accurate, Boston needs to do way more...

For sure, distance definitely belies convenience. I can get to Chicago's Midway from downtown Chicago during rush hour on the Orange Line in about the same time as it takes me to get from downtown Boston to Logan Airport on the Silver Line (approx. 30 minutes). And Midway is 3x further than...

If you were to measure the distance by the closest tall building to a runway, Vegas is even closer, about 4 city blocks or about 4000 ft away from Mandalay Bay and an active runway

Fair enough but I believe community protest triumphed over political will which doomed the bid in the first place so I have doubts on that too

Not unaware but the MBTA wouldn't have been competent enough to build it by the deadline. You're kidding yourself if you think they would

Imagine if Boston had won. With this public transit?!

Nah glass isn't the problem. Dull designs and lack of innovations are. I'll take more glass State Street Towers (referring to the boldness) any day

I'm not saying that it isn't a moronic statement but transportation improvement without some legislature that prevents rents from increasing in the communities that are benefitting from the improvement will lead to people of color and long term residents being kicked out. Access to public...

Ok yeah I think it is time to throw the whole MBTA away. And by that, I mean shut down each line in sequence for a complete overhaul

My brother, I guess got a tour and sent me these pics

I think there is still a need to have the surface parking lot given that it is significantly closer to the train station and thus, more accessible for anyone disabled

Likely second closest behind San Diego but the point stands nevertheless. (Las Vegas could be closer depending on whether you count the Strip as a CBD)

Balconies are definitely a personal preference. I'm on the side supporting balconies. Why? I would love to be able to work outside while being able to use my own reliable wifi rather than from a cafe and given that I work from home, it's a convenient place to be able to be outside the house. It...

I'm guessing what event being hosted at city hall has a lot of jumping up and down? You mention sports championship but that doesn't even happen every year. I know they host the occasionally show or showcases at City Hall but those aren't festivals or raves (not since Boston Calling moved).

Stuff additional RAM onto my laptop so now I can actually run the mods that improve the realism. Thought I share one of the cities I've been working on. Note, I only run the high settings for the screenshot. I turn the settings back down during gameplay so that my laptop won't fry

Just found Toronto's architectural forum (sister forum? Believe Archboston is owned by the same owners as theirs) and their top 10 tallest proposals are all above 750 ft https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2021/11/torontos-tallest-ten-towers-waiting-line-approval And their 14...

Unfortunate that from this angle, WT made MT into a background tower. Closest example of a subtraction by addition
