    Watertown Infill and Small Developments

    Thank you for that close-in perspective. I hear you and empathize. My question from 10,000 million miles away, is what kind of remediation Watertown/developers give you?? Would they help with a temporary location and then have your laundromat on ground floor of a multi-story residential...

    The New Retail Thread

    I agree- you're probably onto something there - too much of a coincidence. But, maybe, Boston is growing up and becoming a real city? I don't care what the origin of the idea is - - I just am in favor of increased urbanity. More housing units, more 24/7 dynamic? Bring it on. Enough with...

    10 World Trade | BGI Office Tower (Massport Parcel A2) | Seaport

    This building DESERVES to be 100% booked up. What a magnificent imaginative design. Such a shame it was programmed for lab.

    MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing | Kendall Square | Cambridge

    The buildings are there - - - but they self-contain .....more to the point that street NEEDS ground-level activation with shops/restaurants/humanoid things - - otherwise it is just a series of Mars Biospheres.

    MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing | Kendall Square | Cambridge

    Agreed - - the only thing different in that particular shot,vis a vis, a Spanish research campus is the lack of dynamic life and actual humanoids at street level. That particular street is a ground-level ghost town.

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    There's already a free-market term for "vacancy tax". It's called "Lost revenue". Instead of instituting another new tax, the solution would be to tighten up the real estate loss benefits in the tax code.

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    Because ALL construction is difficult since the pandemic - - material prices are through the roof - - you don't see any labs or offices being built either, do you? Just getting ANYTHING built right now needs an extra push - - this just happens to help the overall civic urbanity more than the...

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    You keep talking about office workers like that is a thing. Office worker days are still down and the advent of AI ain't gonna make that any better. Skate to where the puck is going to be. Residential and services for those residents. That is the present and, increasingly, the future. The...

    If work from home is taking over, where would those people be transiting into???? These class B and class c office buildings are having the highest vacancies. An empty shell is an empty shell.

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    I know it wasn't in Boston Proper.......but saw this this morning in the Globe and I just had to bring it here - - - - so many of us of a certain age knew THIS guy's work well before learning about Picasso, Rembrandt, etc. Just a joyous thing and a business plan from a different age that really...

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    You’re entitled your own opinion on that. Believe it or not, they had unions all the way back in the old days when he was Mayor too. Somehow shit got done. Walsh knew how to work with them.
