More $15 bowlslop to be sure.

I think to be perfectly fair we do see general caternary issues causing issues in the green line tunnel. I think Eng has been taking stock of a lot of the system and the (150 year old) deferred maintenance some of it needs and its fair to say his guys think this is necessary. I do think you are...

So I live/lived in this area now - recently moved a bit further out - and I don’t want to speak over anyone but from what I’ve seen a lot of this east Cambridge specific stuff is declining. Happy to be corrected but it’s become extremely expensive and gone the way of southie where the incumbent...

That parcel in 2024 vs 2020

It is funny to be self congratulatory about the treehouse (good building it seems like) when you happened to surround it with turds

I was being silly and reading the old northpoint thread (since 10 years ago I was less focused on these things) and this render while relatively accurate to the content of CX, seems to be totally nonsense when it comes to the OBrien highway, apparently converting it to a neighborhood street...

We don't even need the buildings to look good. I think we have lost that argument. What would be nice is if the form made sense. If we had smaller urban streets on a grid and the buildings were single prisms that were not landscraper-y, fine, make the facade vinyl panels or whatever makes your...

Its definitely an interesting topic--but I think the notion of a city and a suburb are different things. A city is something that until recently was something that was understood to be a place of change, growth, etc. whereas when you're looking for a SFH you're "buying the neighborhood" as much...

I guess what I am trying to convey to you is that while strategic discussions are welcome, expecting your specific views to be catered to by the megacoalition is silly. I mean, left wing people get told that all the time--there are people a few posts up gloating about what's happened in...

Behold the myopia of the American voter--based on your views on youth sports, I'll threaten to vote for the guy who doesn't even want there to be elections! I'll do it!!!! Guys I'm about to vote for the fascist!!! You're making me do it!!!

The cost of elevators is what's blocking the headhouse... Is there anything stopping us from digging a ped tunnel under the tracks with an ADA ramp? Also how much we wanna bet cops are gonna find a way to park their cars on the bridge?

How did they get an architect to agree to use brick and to align features across floors? And to not manipulate the facade with kooky boxes and materials? Sadly whoever stamped the drawings will probably lose their license for this. The saving grace, I guess, is the college dorm-style...

I was shocked in Italy when there were local electric trains and interstate electric trains on the same tracks. What a concept!

This is thread derailment, but in terms of MEP, the people going over to datacenters are getting paid far and above the people who work on "regular" work.

So there is a budding conservative movement in Dover most of which is a tax revolt... The same Facebook-Americans are also generally mad about the level of new development. So I think the council doesnt want to stir the pot.

Not to revive this again, but what are people's thoughts on including a bike/ped connection to Chelsea as part of this project if it were rebuilt as a bridge? Does the grade make this infeasible? Currently to bike/walk to Chelsea it requires going through Oil Tank City and Charlestown.

It's just this user's pet term.

A great critique of the liberal habit of holding up process as an end rather than a means. He withholds the name of this officer - a man who literally killed another person - affording him a level of privacy not afforded to the smallest time criminal in Cambridge. He puts himself through all...

Apparently they didn’t have any tenants lined up for this thing so that’s why it never got built. Just heard about it from a buddy.

I agree, this has been a sore spot for me for a long time since I see it every day. One thing people may not appreciate is that this has revealed that they're creating a full parallel bike path between Lechmere/the CP/Community College to the one that's in the park area. The black paved bike...
