Re: Developer plans $300M project for Fenway
Dood, mostly good points. One problem though is that if you just "let people build as much and as high" you end up with a bunch of "Tremonts on the Common." Cheap looking buildings designed purely for efficient, double-stacked floor plates with very little regard for their environment. There has to be some review process. Some design restrictions.
Let people build as much and as high as they want of whatever type of housing stock as they want, using whatever labor they want, without making them provide "benefits" (and do a cost-benefit analysis on some of the building code stuff).
