Matching it up with their massive roadways and slavish reliance on cars/trucks???????? Volume of units isn't the entire answer. It is the LIVABILITY and 15 Minute City concept that will be the most efficient and livable future for cities. Unit volume PLUS enlightened urban planning and...

Other than Jeremi, I can't imagine anyone here wanting Houston. However, Olson Pehlke's REASONS of 'Hundreds and hundreds of new cars and people in an area that already has inadequate capacity in terms of roadways, parks, shops, sidewalks, post office and [Trader Joe’s] on the weekend anyone?"...

Good point. Dorchester does seem to relish its architectural ugliness. It's the proud Bailey's sundae of architecture :D

They both feed the central problem of Luddite/NIMBYism. They are the classic motivated transmitter and willing receiver. BOTH are crucial to propogate falsehoods to block human progress, in this case that there would be more parking capacity from this development.

"We need rational, fact-based and community guided zoning, not one-off developer windfalls with ZERO forethought, planning or engagement,” wrote one, Linda Olson Pehlke. She said the “massive up-zoning” would bypass broader planning processes like the Comprehensive Plan, which she is helping to...

This is what it is replacing. Win-Win...

Not sure if any of you have seen this - - pretty cool night - - and two very great videos on the history, etc.:

FK4 in no sense intimated you couldn’t voice your opinion. Don’t be so afraid of your ideas being challenged and debated in an open setting such as this. The give and take is enlightening.

"Near zero quantifiable public benefit from Foxboro"???????? Is that written as comedy?????? I've seen some strange statements over the years, but that one is special. Are you saying the AT LEAST $135 million the City of Boston is investing in White Stadium will bring anywhere near the...

Caution here: From the comments section of the Globe article: "Boston Harbor Distillery, LLC, a Dorchester, MA-based craft spirit producer, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 31, 2025, to reorganize, not liquidate, amid industry-wide financial pressures. The distillery, founded in 2012...

And this will be 60% of that current value cost with 1/6 the seats……..IF the $325 million is the final cost.

Good. Good for the City of Boston And Good for Northeastern which is one of the growingly most popular universities in the world due to its achievements AND it's location. Win-Win. .

The color palette is incredible.

My God, I just read your linked article - - that guy is simply a terrible human being. There’s no other way to describe him except ‘malevolent’. I wouldn’t trust him at all. Take that shit by eminent domain.

A couple of new twists! Two interesting notes in today's Globe article that I didn't see in the October article: 1) ".....Beyond leasing the lab, TransMedics has also bought 5 acres of land next door from BioMed Realty for $30 million. BioMed had planned to develop two additional lab...

At least there is this ray of light for growth and construction in the region. And that commuter rail stop (built with PRIVATE money from Encore) is important. What's happening on the Everett Waterfront is transformative. The potential for a dynamic future on both sides of the Mystic River is...

And, possibly, the only place on earth to be chosen a national finalist for hosting the Summer Olympics to subsequently reject it.

I agree with you re: Wu won big with her negotiations on the Everett Stadium - - she knew she had Kraft by the short hairs and she played it well. Your last sentence, regarding White Stadium is also spot on…….and the key words are “at present”………there is something going on behind the...
