Re: Parcel 9 - The Greenway
People in the North End don't complain about bar and restaurant goers. It's just the old timers as part of their proxy war against the "Yuppies."
I don't really have a preference for this parcel, other than what goes on the ground floor, but I find it a little hard to believe that hotel is preferable here to condos because of potential complaints. Personally, I think you're likely to get a complaint from either. The benefit of condos is a smaller group of people will complain once and be told to shut the fuck up (and hopefully they will have noticed something during their visit and, fingers crossed they're actually responsible buyers, the research they do prior to purchase). With a hotel, you've got 50 new people a day, who probably booked sight unseen, waiting to get their grievances out. Either way, I can't imagine the building wouldn't be constructed without major thought put into sound proofing. Again, I think hotel vs condo is probably a wash.
It's also probably important to note that in the instance of the people complaining about South Street Diner, the Navy Yard Cannon, and the MGH Medivac Helicopter, the complainers were promptly laughed out of town.
