    Union Square Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    These two are basically complete. Prospect must always have at least one lot under construction. It’s in the rules. Masonry is complete on 24 Webster. If this was Cambridge, the locals would be bringing out the pitchforks for the shadows.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    The GLX stations were all built to the same height as the C line stations are. According to the Globe’s BS take, the GLX will need to be undone to support the 8 inch height. We get it John Henry, you think investing in transit is a waste of money…

    Concord Developments

    West Cambridge / Alewife Area Infill & Small Developments

    The satellite imagery and look around on Apple Maps shows two buildings stalled at the ground floor deck. Did that site get sold mid-construction?

    Seaport Neighborhood - Infill and Discussion

    Zoning codes that traded public plazas for height don’t help the urbanism. Chicago’s early 20th century approach of offering unlimited height over a small portion of the site, and otherwise capping the height, led to a more consistent street wall.
