Conflict and negative emotion sells. Peace and happiness do not.

DITTO.

Bingo. It’s very sad. And this has consequences.

You can’t have it both ways. Have a strong central govt that makes paternalistic plans and executes them well, or don’t. We have come way too far on the wrong side of this and these govt projects try to please too many people. They should have built this years ago and there should be no further...

It’s really just amazing how people misuse facts, science, and other seemingly reasonable-sounding bits of information, when in reality they’re simply hiding their opinion. I don’t think there is ever going to be true objectivity, but basically every single quotation in this article is...

This contributes a lot. This is one of the most run down parts of town, and the BHA/Morton corner is rough as can be both built conditions as well as traffic behaviors. Having a large image of new investment sends a very good implicit message to every brain of every person traversing this area...

If businesses want to encourage people to drive in from out of town, maybe they ought to start lobbying Cambridge to not have every single side street be 100% resident parking only. If they only want local traffic, they will be fine.

Not sure if you’d call this massing or just “architecture”, but a motif / style that I detest and that has characterized about 90% of large blocky buildings in Boston over the last fifteen years is this stupid and cheap way of making the cornice and shape of the buildings have these screamingly...

Haha, man, that guy

Amazing pics. Man, it must have sucked to have lived on Washington Street when they came in and said, sorry, your living room is going to look at metal now

UGH. If you have a 3 lane, one-way arterial road (which Congress is), with a special, high speed right turn lane, that also happens to be turning onto another multi-lane road that even more importantly is an access road to an interstate highway, that is never going to lead to people obeying no...

I left my backpack on a bus in high school or maybe middle school once. I called the MBTA and it had been found, and I picked it up at what I think was the lost and found for the whole W/SW bus region… At Bartlett Yards. Memories…

This looks incredible. If they dont skimp on the materials.

Overall, this whole site has been a big disappointment. I dont know why even a modicum of effort couldn't have been made by the city to make these buildings not look as utterly cheap as they do. This was a giant piece of land right next to a major commercial district, tabula rasa, and somehow...

Great photos. Lot of good construction happening around here, but I just hope it doesn't make Dudley/Nubian all bland and soulless. The Cheney Street one tho... I fucking love this building. "Grove Hall Motor Mart". Man, it might not look like much, but that's a lot of elegance for a...

This is only based on experience of driving on Mem Drive for my whole life, so it's anecdotal but perhaps not totally uninformed (although I never have had reason to be on Men during the AM rush hour, so probably missing a key time period). But, my experience is that the real traffic on Mem...

Like… it had its own lane, so it’s not like cars waiting to take a right will cause backup. I just don’t really get it—what does this accomplish? Absolutely nothing other than when cars turn right they do so at a higher speed. It does not increase flow since it’s still a stoplight-controlled...

I still cant believe this is the actual intersection design.

Interesting find. So, the signs all show the same basic principle, which is that pedestrians on the stretch between Tremont and Prentiss are routed toward the sidewalk, and bikes are routed away from it. However, the third pic, in my mind, shows how utterly hare-brained DCR is, and is just...

Henry, literally every single segment of the Southwest Corridor Path has posts with graphic signs showing that one way is for bikes and the other is for pedestrians. There's not ambiguity here. People dont care. For the few people that truly dont notice, they dont notice because they dont...
