Stat -- I think that the ownershi/ lease rights for SST is more complex than the Congress Street Garage

In the case of the SST there is the DOT (Mass) as well as some longterm leases to Amtrak

In the case of cong. st. Garage -- there is only the issue of Congress St air rights -- the rest is owned and controlled by the developer
 
Re: Congress Street Garage Development

In Banker & Tradesman they claim A loan secured by Boston's Government Center garage is in imminent danger of default?

Not sure what this means for the development for Ex-BRA head Tommy O'Brien........Another ex-political HACK.


Off the topic?
Anybody watch 60 Minutes on Steve Kroft reports that members of Congress can legally trade stock based on non-public information from Capitol Hill.
I have no clue how anybody can respect our leaders anymore. They are truly scum.

Need more folks like Ron Paul. Agree or disagree, I feel like he's the only one who isn't slimy.
 
Re: Congress Street Garage Development

He isn't slimy but he also doesn't live in this reality.

Sometimes you have to look deeper than the face value on his policies. They rely heavily on theory, though, so it's a tough sell. But you have to face the fact that regardless, little could be done with congress working against him anyway. But at least he'd have the executive power to withdraw our troops and cease our unjust military interventions. The whole country should be able to rally behind him on military issues, except the military industrial complex fools. And he should be able to get the Dems behind him on most social issues. Of course his economic policies are what Democrats are scared of. People think we have a free market, but we don't. So they think his support of the free market means more corporations would be stomping the common man. Truth is, if corporations wanted free markets, they would rally behind Paul and manipulate public opinion in his favor. But they wouldn't be coddled by the government and bailed out for lining their pockets at the expense of the citizens, so they don't want it. And thus they prop up Obama and Romney. Repubs (not neocon ones) *should* be behind him on economics. So frankly he is at least 2/3rds there for both Dems and Repubs, whereas Obama, Romney, Cain, and Perry? They're 1/3 at best. Voting for Paul is a big FU to all the other politicians who don't even actually believe they're working for the people. They're all bought and sold, and they're laughing all the way to the bank. This guy has been consistent for decades, and isn't looking to benefit special interests. That's all we get with anyone else.
 
Re: Congress Street Garage Development

^^^^
I will be voting for Ron Paul. He actually believes in Freedom. The rest of these hacks want a world govt controlled by the corps.

Back to the thread.
Anybody know if the default on the Congress St Garage would pose a problem for the development?
 
Re: Congress Street Garage Development

Did I miss something in this article that is different from when first proposed? I don't want to fall into the AB trap of getting excited, posting, then nothing!
 
Re: Congress Street Garage Development

Too bad they scaled this tower down from 700ft+ to 600ft. Waiting on the renderings.
 
Re: Congress Street Garage Development

Still 1,100 parking spaces retained. Meh. I guess anything's better than the current monstrosity though.

And the icing on the cake: It meets the insane and unnecessary criteria for Greenway development:

Thanks, Data- - good stuff, I just am a computer illiterate.

Can you also throw in there page 83 - - the before and after of the skyline from the harbor - - I thought that was a good one too.
