Are you sure there are $42M in add-ons? There is confusion because a full accounting is not available to my knowledge. Every penny this goes up without an equal community benefit makes this less of a good deal for the city

Also, why do they need sell 12 acres of a public park for a 110 room hotel?

That article was written by a guy based in Boston yet there is only one small paragraph near the end about the costs suddenly doubling. I support the concept, but the sticker shock is real and this may be only the beginning

This is fill from the Big Dig. The supporters suggest that it was disused, and that they are doing the taxpayers a huge favor by "transforming a landfill and abandoned quarry pits." The truth is that even before the last quarry finally closed in the 1960's this land has been used for passive...

Those are good points but on immigration we cannot blame the State for not enforcing Federal law.

Sorry if we don't feel a need to kiss the ring. Federal law is enforced by the feds. Massachusetts is only required to enforce state laws.

Excellent 360 more cars on 128

Ha! I skimmed it, sans coffee, and thought you said, "I feel bad for Henry Rollins."

The city's commitment to this cannot be open ended and they need to be honest about why the estimate was so low. There are no $50M in additional community benefits

Clearly, the Globe knew this was going to come out when they ran the op eds about how the teams should share a stadium.

The Dorchester Brewing Co. situated on Mass Ave is an excellent local place with good beer, ale, and ciders, a roof deck and skyline views. It is also home to The Museum of Bad Art. Recently they sold their building to the IBEW next door for $10M after initially purchasing it from them 8 years...

It is part of the Red Line because they say so, but not rapid transit as the state would like you to believe

By that definition, every stop on the Mattapan- Ashmont equal zero gated entries because those stations don't have gates

Braintree has over twice as many people as Charlestown and is almost equal in population to East Boston. This project is the same distance from Boston as Riverside Station in Newton. I think there should be a better forward thinking transportation plan instead of the same old bus service and...

325 Units is real good but 475 parking spaces next to a highway is not good at all

Charlesbank Landing right next door is also moving forward. "Charlesbank Landing on the Esplanade will be located at the former site of Lee Pool, in between the Longfellow Bridge and Museum of Science, and adjacent to the Teddy Ebersol’s Red Sox Fields, Alfond Memorial Spray Deck, and the...

Am I dreaming or is that a different rendering? I was going to comment on how bad the design was for such a prominent place, but this building looks pretty good. This has been a vacant lot for as long as I can remember and a 30 unit building that is not hideous, is wonderful

I don't think so because we don't have San Diego's climate and there isn't enough space in Franklin Park, but I do think the park, with the zoo and other attractions, has the potential to one day draw just as many visitors. Roger Williams is a lot like SD

Wow, 7000 people doing classes each month. That's how busy the YMCA once planned for the Greenway would be.

This is what happens when things are done in a rush behind closed doors. They should have debated and enacted this requirement on its own instead of it being an amendment to a spending bill because it is too impactful. It should have been more nuanced and had "teeth." Now they can't fix it...
