I think the point is that the types who would live here would be at work and out socializing and living their life elsewhere. The Globe article pretty clearly articulated this. The analog is small dorm rooms with huge common areas. Instead of hiding away alone in your room get out and live...

F-line, you may know. The Little Building is in such shitttttttttty shape. I mean the front is held on by strapping right now. Emerson obviously has to do something. Any enticement to provide ADA to at least IB side via the Little Building when that happens? Would code even allow or would they...

Don't expect it anytime soon. Waaaaay behind is the rumor.

Arlington isn't ADA? Did they take out the elevators?

"Not in my basements"?

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown This is the 9/11 rewrite, correct?

I agree -- and that's what I'm saying. The current option (a bucket of roommates living on top another) is about it. A microapartment would be terrific. Ron, adjust your thinking from decades of collecting stuff and think like someone who's been in a cramped dorm or shared bedroom. Likely...

/\ Think the problem is right now we're not keeping any. Dating for 20-34 year olds for example: come back to my shared bedroom to meet my 5 roommates? Or, come back to my studio? EDIT: I was wrong, n/m, nothing to see here. Thank you commuting student for teaching me about college graduates...

Dam. Literally. Damn....

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Hearing from colleagues that power may be coming back in spots. Not sure how long it takes to power up the T's gear obviously. Did I hear Gov. Patrick say maybe no T until tomorrow?

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos My whole point is it's not about losing a day's wages though this does impact those who need wages the most. It's that these are the people who do the critical jobs that keep things going for the rest of us. Nurses, hotel workers front and back...

Re: Fidelity's HQ may go high Do you disprove your own argument? Backoffice to me says accountants and property management and phone support and other stuff. Talent to me says R&D. And wouldn't those people want to be in a thriving community where they have peers and colleagues from other...

Their IMP should describe that under "existing campus" or something similar. Zoning generally requires ground level zoning in business districts, unless they negotiate a variance. It's not so much about who owns it.

Re: Fidelity's HQ may go high Maybe the talent doesn't want to stay living in the boondocks.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos I guess my problem is this. The T is closing in 68 minutes. There's less than a quarter inch of snow. As F-line notes (and agree with) why couldn't they go even until 10? Suspend service earlier but allow third shift to get to at least go to work..

Is this anecdotal "fact," or actual truth? Panama Canal and Hoover Canal.....er Dam are two that come to mind. Edit for mistake.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos Too bad for the immigrants and poors who have to get to work anyways! Maybe they'll self-deport once they see what pussies for closing up shop. Because it's going to snow. 14 hours from now.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos That should help the afternoon rush hour!

Re: 75 Ames St. (Broad Institute Expansion) Kendall Sq. I've always thought about it as not being compromised, but as part and parcel in building this type of facility. The floor space for people may be smallish but those systems are mission critical.

Re: Christian Science Church Center Renovation/ New Towers NABB are a kettle of fucks. Without the power of Marty Walz in the legislature I'm not sure they have much weight here. It is outside their jurisdiction so they can comment as any other person or entity can. Much else I don't think so...
