There's lots of empty space in northern Maine she could bike around. Or how about Kansas?
I left her a comment. Hopefully she sees the dangers of her proposal.
Or that scenic route down the coast of California, Paseo del Mar. Oh wait....
Wow, that was a really good (and succinct) response.
@KentXie - I'm 100% for this project (natch), but I'm sorry... whether or not this particular luxury condo tower gets built or not has no serious bearing on Boston's future. At the very least, invoking Detroit is just as hyperbolic as Newdick's own NIMBY rhetoric. If this thing gets built, it will look pretty in the skyline and house a few hundred rich people. If it doesn't, what effect will that have on Boston's actual engines of growth? Yes, luxury condos may be symptomatic of progress and success, but they don't create it.
I'd be much more sympathetic with your line of reasoning if, say, lab facilities in Kendall Sq were getting shot down by the community out of a similar anti "commerce" ideology.
Also, in case any of you still think LD is trolling us...read this.
Re-read my post. I was not responding specifically Copley Place. I was responding to her "Occupy the Expansion" and her hope that commerce would one day be satisfied.
However, if I wanted to respond more directly to Copley Place tower, I would have added that by stopping one project in order to curb expansion (and one can say that Lita's message is subtle. She is invoking the fear of corporations taking over the city), a precedent is set for other projects that new development could be stopped if it serves to profit the developers. I didn't write that however because I didn't believe Copley Place is a good example to use nor do I think there enough people that support a stagnant Boston.
