    Orange Line Extension to Roslindale/West Roxbury

    Thanks, very helpful. So, with a little knowledge of how the T's Capital Investment Plan works, this was not an "easy" or "quick" task to set aside $100K unless it was proposed (and approved) in the new FY27-31 plan. The T doesn't have $100K sitting around in its capital fund waiting to be...

    Orange Line Extension to Roslindale/West Roxbury

    Does anyone have a clear explanation of how these resolutions are actually structured? His statement says "secured funding" but the resolution just places a deadline to complete the study. Is there a separate funding clause somewhere else? I'm not finding this study specifically funded in...

    Massachusetts comprehensive housing plan

    Shhh, do not give another State Rep an excuse to throw money at another study that has minimal impact, for them to say that they care about housing!

    MBTA Construction Projects

    I have heard rumors that it will not be opening until the full station renovation is completed... which is a ways away. The suggested reason is that it triggers full ADA compliance.

    Cambridge Infill and Small Developments

    Rough design, seemingly an attempt to tie back to the Cosmic Moose house... That is a pretty difficult one bedroom unit layout... clearly fitting the function to the form, but the form seems to just have a reference to one of the existing walls, and to clad it with purple and yellow.... there...

    Hurley Building Redevelopment | 19 Staniford St | West End

    No... unless the land was close to free. I would happily welcome a Boston Barbican if someone was daring enough.

    Boston to update its zoning code

    6% increase in my rent last year, 33% increase since 2020, and this year I'm moving out. The rent my landlord just posted it for is a 19% increase from my current payment. And it's not even that nice..

    Porter Square Infill and Small Developments

    They managed to paint over the graffiti that was there for several years, but didn't clean up the entrance a bit for the grand opening... interesting..

    Boston University - Warren Towers Renovation | 700 Commonwealth Avenue | Fenway

    I think my username tells you that I'm aware of that... But I will mention, the data science tower was not cheap. And Pardee will be by a name architect.

    Boston University - Warren Towers Renovation | 700 Commonwealth Avenue | Fenway

    I think the best phase of this project is with the scaffolding up (not the first time this is being said in this thread). Kinda wish we had more High Tech Architecture/Richard Rogers/Renzo Piano here..

    1270 Commonwealth Avenue (Old CVS Site) | Allston

    That's poorly rendered red-brown brick in a vertical stack bond.

    General Boston Discussion

    When this was implemented, that was alluded to. IIRC, based on their streets capital planning GIS map, I think it's part of the Broadway reconstruction scope, which was programmed at one point, but there hasn't been an update on that in a few years.

    Copper Mill Development | Elm Street and Grove Street | Davis Square

    I'm confused by the use of the word "pause" here. Copper Mill told the general public a month ago that they would have updated designs in a month to present. Here we are, and here they are presenting updated designs tonight... what exactly is paused? Also... We are incapable of building...

    🔷 Open Thread

    I'm looking in the same area for 8/1. 7/1 rentals are popping up now on Zillow and Craigslist, which are still the two most popular. You're probably fine for another month. After 6/1 may be tight. You're likely dealing with a broker one way or the other. The recent law made it so that tenants...
