Re: Boston College Master Plan debut Found this on Boston.com: http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2008/09/neighborhood_gr.html

My post was a knee jerk reaction but the projects were already paid for with tax dollars and almost all of it from the feds. The money from the tolls don't exactly go directly into fixing a pot hole, rather, the money goes to a massive state budget which is later divided among the numerous...

If only the Commonwealth would stop spending money on pork we wouldn't need tolls. I would give the socialist pigs the choice between the state income tax or tolls - can't be both.

Indian, Nigerian, Cambodian, Haitian, and Vietnamese. The Guatemalans and Brazilians will still come but will trickle down in a few years. New Bedford tends not to attract Brazilians and they are, for the most part, returning to a strong and growing economy in their homeland. It will be...

I find the immigrant population to be a high point about the city. It is a minority city. For years immigrants from all over came here including the English, Irish, French-Canadians, Portuguese, Azorians, Madeirians, Cape Verdians, Germans, Norweigians, Italians, Lebonese, Greeks, Polish...

Re: Boston College Master Plan debut The big difference between the Harvard expansion and BC's expansion in the neighborhoods they are moving into: Alston and Brighton. Alston still is an immigrant, transient, and blue collar section of the city. Brighton has a wealthy and established...

I spent some time here in college in the mid to late 90's. Everything is changing and I am surprised Lansdowne St. took this long. I guess keeping Fenway Park open may have pushed for more gentrification of the area and I think it is about time.

Good to see the Corson building back in order. I have walked by there on my way to my watering hole and was wondering when it would open. North of the downtown historical district is prime property. Any open spaceis worth purchasing and developing in this area.

The bus shelters do look very European.

I would never want to live in this dorm, however, the building looks much better in person than it does in the photos. I park near there every Tuesday. I'm just curious. With the development of NEU almost completely surrounding the projects, has there ever been any talks of NEU buying the...

I think removing the tax credit cap is a brilliant idea. If there is high priority in relocating a business it is low taxes. Taxes kill economic development and lower tax revenue in the long term. I think the Mayor is learning from the Irish politicians and businessmen his office has been...

Re: Boston College Master Plan debut Are there any new news about development at Saint John's Seminary (or BC's new Brighton Campus)?

^ It is true Chinatown is changing and is losing it's spice. On the other hand, it beats the Combat Zone of the 70's and 80's with cocaine, peep show stores, strip joints, and prostitution. I would love to see Chinatown preserve much of what is great about it while growing and improving. At...

The LaFrance family has done a lot for the South Coast in the hospitality business. Good for them. I'll take some pictures tomorrow if the weather is nice.

Re: New BU Tower My first post. I drove by there the other day and was surprised at how big the building is. Comm Ave is certainly changing. Look forward to walking down later this spring.
