Re: Congress Street Garage Development
LOL.
The neighborhood associations are for the most part comprised of property-owners, taxpayers, and voters. And if they're wealthy taxpayers, that heighten's their sense of self-importance. Money talks.
They, the developers, and city don't give a rodent's behind about the viewpoints and perspectives of 95 percent of the posters on this thread.
That said, some of their reported concerns are either nebulous, e.g., future development on Beacon Hill, or ill-formed, e.g. shadows on the green spaces of the Greenway (requires the sun to change position). These are easily rebuffed. A more interesting one is the concern about the loss of parking spaces.
