Seems like he read Abundance before writing in this response.

I've always wondered why they had that extra platform. Kind of crazy that it's taken this long to get a project that will connect that pre-built platform to an actual rail line.

That would make more sense at least for the difference. It is still surprising to me that the Somerville Zoning map isn't more ambitious with the zoning at this corner that is just a block or two from the Green Line station entrance and next to a large civic campus.

I peeked at Somerville's zoning atlas and I am thoroughly surprised that the "spite" property is zoned the lowest intensity residential use. I would think that the entire area around City Hall would be zoned for more dense development. Did the spite property owners get some change to zoning so...

FIFA world cup is a mostly commercial megaevent - however, it is something that late-stage capitalism has become fairly adept at procuring - the bread & circuses of it all. While it may have some complexity - let's not get confused about the calibre of Operation Overlord versus a largely...

What an odd analogy. Say more about how relatable this is?

This seems so odd - premier global event where no politician (or rich person supporting this) at the state or federal level is willing to cut a check for. Smells so funny. Are they going to go-fund-me the costs?

that's our federal government, isn't it?

i don't even think they'd have to be online much - they got enough money to hire someone to be terminally online.

apparently the last time we need to really talk about the snow.

It's Mass - the old boys club remains ascendant - they even let in some lesbians and minorities as long as they play by the old boys club rules.

Also - while I was waiting for my Providence Line the other day - bus terminal ventilation, too.

i mean - do we think this is not a gambit to prove that the hotel is actually going to open?

*stares in West Coast*

I don't disagree - but - there's other, even more, transformative investments that are even better on the CBR that were foregone so that we could give Mattapoisett, Fairhaven and Somerset the option of avoiding the riff-raff on the Peter Pan or Dattco buses.

I also think that you're not engaging with the actual argument against the South Coast Rail: it's not worth the benefit - i.e. $1.05 billion for just 2,000 daily riders is pretty costly. And very little in the way of other benefit.

A lot less stick framing there though.

She's no longer a progressive.

Can anyone get funding for this right now. It seems rare to announce the start of any residential construction.

K-shaped economy for the loss.
