Is there no plan for it to connect to the Magazine Beach parking lot?

Talking about orange line reroutes had me wondering: what if back in the 70s and 80s the T had dumped what money it spent on RLX to Alewife and Braintree and OLX to Forest Hills and Oak Grove into a new S-bahn-like(?) system, utilizing the OL tunnel through downtown and rail ROW that was yet to...

This is actually pretty huge. The street tree density bonus (which is a very reasonable 5ft easement) essentially makes three-deckers allowed by right everywhere. I'm a fan of the parking minimum elimination too, but honestly, I don't think it will be consequential given the max floor plate...

Am I on Punk'd?? This has to be satirical

I am curious to see how the language of this will be designed to interact with the Starter Homes ballot initiative, because that one explicitly singles out single-family homes as what would be allowed on 5000sqft lots, not duplexes.

Old picture back in May; view from the top of the Bunker Hill Monument

I'm hope the Southfield redevelopment turns out something like this.

A snippet of their conversation posted on Instagram reached 17k people. That's not nothing!

These AI outputs are often quite shallow and crude, even if they appear polished at a glance. I simply view people who tout the results as telling on themselves that they have no value/discernment of quality.

Very old news, but I don't believe this ever got posted: 59 Mill St, Woburn Mill Street Heights, 72 units (18 affordable), completed Nov. 2025 https://bostonrealestatetimes.com/hamilton-company-completes-and-leases-72-unit-mill-street-heights-development-in-woburn/

Tangential, but does anyone know if a map or list exists of the CR stations that indicates platform length as well as which ones are full-high, mini-high, or low platform?

"being next to a rail" is underselling it It's wedged between clapped-out industrial, an intermodal yard, rail, and an 8-lane highway.

You know, this paint job thing is really starting to piss me off. First, it was the CRRC orange + red line cars: acceptable, but not excitingly modern. Then the green line type 10s: obviously dated and far from something you could call beautiful. And now this. WTF are these stripes. I know...

Why are modern developers allergic to corner trim?

What a failure of the MBTA communities act. 432 units of complete, unabashed car-centric living.

I'm surprised they are planning to demolish the existing student housing but keep the instructional buildings. The dorms are newer construction (~1990) than the old catholic school buildings. And the student housing is suite-style that lends itself well to traditional apartment conversions: I

How were they able to justify this project? $5.7B for 40,000 daily riders seems insane
