I prefer the personal freedom of not having a car.

Key thing to me is that, given it being smack dab in the middle of the city, much of Bay Village is a sleepy, dead zone. That's fine for Alewife or outer Charelestown, but not for this particular location.
The monument will be built to the specifications of the club – 18 feet wide and 11 feet tall – with three 7-foot arches, said Michael Hanlon, vice president and treasurer of the Cocoanut Grove Memorial Committee. There will be 490 granite bricks inscribed with the names of each victim along with informational panels describing the history of the fire.
That would be the condo owners not wanting explicit acknowledgement that their condos sit on the site where 490 people died, reducing their property values.That would be the compromise for the condo owners not wanting random folks ogling their front door being in the approximate location of the doors at the club.

The street view from the other side does a better job of showcasing just how tiny that lot actually is; the render is a little confusing about just what is new since they also color rendered their abutter on Melrose, but the new construction is only the bit with the white metal siding. I was about to be annoyed at a single family in this location, but that lot is legitimately tiny - even with the overhangs I suspect the usable square footage when they're done won't exceed 1000sqft by much, if any.Small house on micro lot in tiny neighborhood approved

“The Zoning Board of Appeal yesterday approved plans for a single-family home on a 348-square-foot lot at Arlington and Melrose streets in Bay Village.
The variances and other approvals granted yesterday mean Steve and Josh Cohen can replace the tiny, vacant commercial building on the micro triangular lot with a four-story, three-bedroom house with two bathrooms, built around a spiral staircase with a 40-square-foot roof deck……”
