Fair enough. I was being flippant :).

Yes, but Kraft, like all team owners in Boston, has privately funded his projects, as he will privately fund this one. The question is the extent to which he's required to offset the impacts his projects have on public transportation assets and other infrastructure. At the end of the day, it is...

And Kraft could make the case that the cleanup of the site alone is an adequate public benefit given that he isn't asking for any public money.

We already have had Assembly and Encore for a decade. If the "Riviera" were going to happen, it would already have happened.

How does that lighted crown play with the JPMorgan sign, I wonder?

Buzzards Bay would be an extension on active track from Middleboro, not Plymouth. MassDOT runs Cape Flyer through Buzzards Bay now.

This is being discussed now because both the State House and State Senate are advancing bills to require the study. As to why that's happening now in particular, I don't know. OLX wasn't just in Go Boston 2030, it was also in the MBTA's Focus40 plan. The Red/Blue Connector wouldn't be subject...

I'm impressed they remembered to fix the scoreboard - I assume Grok had originally said "G%V7?"

I would say a new tower would be more likely to to be cookie-cutter than iconic, but apparently that's no longer the case in 2025... https://www.archpaper.com/2024/06/marlon-blackwell-architects-air-traffic-control-tower-columbus-indiana/...

I wouldn't say that the structure has a lifespan - the technology in the cab does. Unless there are serious accessibility or safety concerns the tower is presumably structurally fit - it's just a concrete tower. The replacement issue is more that they would need some magical interim tower if...

November Board deck is up: https://www.massport.com/sites/default/files/2025-12/Website-November-Board-Meeting-11.20.25.pdf Wow, is this a poorly-conceived aesthetic choice. Should have just done a plain parking garage - this building looks like it has a skin disease. Also some takeaways...

There is. The issue isn't that you can't do rail-with-trail, it's that the character of the Greenway is woodsy and quiet. A paved trail adjacent to the Green Line would be a completely different vibe - framed as being more for commuters than dog walkers and more for moving through than ambling...

That last one almost looks like they're displaying a train car there...

Upper Falls residents will chain themselves to their Greenway and fight you back with their leafblowers. The Upper Falls Greenway was a catastrophe for transit. Basically salted the corridor.

Specifically, the groundbreaking is for "Portico", which is the building in the center-rear of the render. https://www.nbcboston.com/boston-business-journal/groundbreaking-planned-for-473-unit-suffolk-downs-development/3861287/

Is it? I think the latest you could be on this graph and not be getting what is about to happen is December 2023, exactly two years ago.

CPAs and their ultra-rich clients have a vested incentive to want lower taxes and this survey is from a trade group - it's not objective evidence. Reducing the state income tax would take funding away from critical services as a cruelty-is-the-point regime in Washington is cutting state aid. It...

This project, to be fair, did at one time include a 200+ foot building.
