Try building one of them where the student center on Mass Ave is.

I would have thought developing brownfield/dated industrial land beside transit should be the priority.

yeah, this is what I was trying to get at. I loved watching the bacon building go up in Union It was built on an old radiator scrap yard and other wasteland.

I'm not opposed to the tower in Davis I can see why it failed tho. I'm just sick of looking at derelict sites where developers are hoarding land in order to maximise their profit when the cycle changes while everyone argues about 26 storeys in the middle of Davis. If people really cared about...

no, your misunderstanding me. All I'm saying is that the vacant sites in east somerville (and all over the city) should be redeveloped with an impact that's acceptable to most people so they actually get built. I'm not proposing towers for east somerville, Just actually building the developments...

you just like really tall buildings (which is fine) There's plenty of room for development within 5 mins walk of T stations in Somerville. Look at the taco loco site, it's a two min walk from Sullivan and it's a blight. Look at the whole inner belt and brickbottom, on the doorstep of East...

I'm not saying east has to take the burden but there are empty sites like the old taco loco, or the site on the corner of Broadway and McGrath that should be developed. East End Grille has been vacant for years as has the bakery, all with plans for new housing that have come to nothing. There...

I'm all for development but this was outsized and I doubt it would affect the market much. There are areas of east somerville, winter hill, innerbelt, brickbottom, McGrath highway where tons of housing could be built with little to no objection in the morning but the same profit margens arent...

still makes more sense than trying to fortify the every inch of the city that meets the water. Doing that successfully seems impossible to me. Boston/Cambridge/Somerville/Medford/Everett/Chelsea/Winthrop all have to build levies on every foot of coastline within the general harbor area, and...

also makes that ugly brick of a design look a little interesting.

bust pipes or not, she got absolutely shafted by the cities inept handling of 90 washington st. When I moved to the area, Buddys was cash only but there was an ATM in the cobble hill mall across the street. Greed killed off this area of washington.

Would be great if Kraft and wynn could build a footbridge from the Encore river walk to the wind turbine.

Whites Stadium has very little to do with this. Everett and Kraft have negotiated a perfectly good site for a new stadium. Wu will push for what she can get her city but has to do it without scraping the project. Those negotiations are ongoing. The development of the mystic area is also ongoing...

There'll be a footbridge from the casino to assembly. Plenty of food options there.

Kendall square cinema has 9 screens and is prob a mile away. MoS is around the corner as is the Galleria I wouldn't be too worried about CX not being thronged with people. People who live there and work there seem to be quite happy with it. It'll slowly develop and mature with time. Some...

Did anything ever come of the chat about a Mystic to Charles community path? Something that would link this new bridge to Sullivan then round to East Somerville, connecting with the GLX path?

If a lot of people dont understand what they ar looking at with regard to the most important public building in the city, it's a design failure.

The inner belt is zoned 3 story. I guess partly caused by the tunnels brige on the inner belt road that restricts access. Change that bridge to a regular one. Switch inner belt zoning to CX levels. Push Brickbottom development. Build pedestrian access across the CR tracks at the T station from...

wow, thanks for the awesome post!

I'd be curious about the amount of people using the path, seems very popular especially at commuter times.
