This forum is always bitching on two big things when it comes to new construction: Giant blocks that all look the same Lack of details. Well, would this newish development alleviate your concerns, or do you hate it? All taken on a single block.

Whats this and does it deserve a thread? http://g.co/maps/bevnf

So apparently there's not a thread for the BU bridge. At least I couldn't find it. Four years of construction, and no discussion? What is this? Anyway, pictures from Monday. It's almost done. First of all, the trees on Comm Ave, part of that project, grew really fast. They look great...

THIS is what Boston needs. Our city is full of hotels charging $300+ a night, but nothing for people who aren't crazy. Instead of giving away our money to build another luxury hotel by the convention center, how about something for us commoners? ---...

I was thinking about two things recently -The NIMBY/Menino/BRA team that fights height, regardless of the form. 50 stories on the waterfront? Too tall. 19 stories next to the city's 2nd tallest building? Too tall. 25 story dorm over the YMCA? Too tall. -How cities like DC and Paris with a...

A short one. If I were in town, I would like to take pictures before the rails go away. But seriously, it took a decade of work to make a 2/3mile path? Come on. To start here...

I had never heard of this place, but it's amazing. Real life Sim City! Check out the streets, the plots of land, the parks...

Here's the deal: I remember reading that there is a type of powered vehicle that can be driven in Mass. without a drivers license. Scooter, moped, electric bike...I remember reading that ONE of these can be ridden without a license if it met some criteria (max speed 30mph etc). I cannot find...

So I just moved to DC for a two month period, which means I wont be posting pics of Boston... Anyone know of a good development focused forum for the DC area? I want to find out what's being built. Ill be providing thoughts about DC in this thread as well.

I say do it. --- Logan parking costs may soar Governor proposes adding $2 'carbon fee' to lot, garage rates In the same month that Logan International Airport hiked its parking rates by $1, Governor Deval Patrick is asking for another $2 parking "carbon fee" as part of his transportation...

The board has been really slow in loading for me lately...

This subforum seems to be getting popular, so I thought now would be a good time to show some pictures I recently took in California of a process we don't really see around Boston. All these pictures were taken a few yards from the same intersection. Prepare to be shocked and amazed...

I've been noticing a lot of changes to the retail scene in my area, and I thought it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to new retail in Boston. We can discuss what's opening, what's closing, and what new things we can try out. --- Landmark Center Panera Bread replaces empty space (had...

I recently learned that this building sits abandoned, which is a big surprise as it sits in a prime spot, looks good, and has an owner who needs space. BU owns it, and it would make a good dorm. Anybody know the story behind it?
