Hotter than Tabasco sauce:the Boston RE market:

This topic seems pretty open minded if you ask me.
 
Re: Hotter than Tabasco sauce: the Boston RE market

^spot on! So, what new information have you gathered from yahoo finance?
 
Re: Hotter than Tabasco sauce: the Boston RE market

Alright, let me try to rationalize this. Everyone on this board enjoys commenting and arguing about development policies, zoning, aesthetics, transportation, etc. That conversation is successfully had without bringing up the same juvenile party lines arguments that you see on the Herald comments. This board is, frankly, better than that. Its why I (and I imagine most others) enjoy posting here. The second that "liberals" "democrats" "republicans" etc are brought into the argument, an otherwise cohesive, intelligent, and enjoyable thread derails into a redneck pissing contest. Time and time again the majority of users have expressed the fact that they hate it, and we have lost good users because of it.

Have the conversation without degrading this forum to Fox News. Please. It is possible to talk about these topics without bringing absurd party lines into it. Just talk about the actual issues.


Back on topic: the mayors oft quoted goal of 30,000 units by 2020 is laughably low. Why not 130,000?

FOX News was created to counter the liberal bias from MSNBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, BBC, CBC, New York Times, Washington Post, etc....

Just because he disagrees with you strongly doesn't make him a troll.

Anyway, it seems to me that the problem with many of the troubled cities is not strictly linked to the specific party, but the machine style politics that is associated with one-party rule over decades.

To respond to a thoughtful post calling for calm with a snark on a selective quote just to get a reaction is pretty much standard fare trolling...

This is satire, no?

More highways and cars for Boston? Great urban planning.

The 1950's called, they want their ideas back.

More like a massive MBTA transit expansion for the Blue, Orange, Red Lines would do wonders for the city of Boston.

The problem with the T is their pension program which is making the entire system bankrupt.

Really....... is that what they were saying in Motor City. Even Chicago, Illinois is now realizing they are BROKE. Is that long-term thinking?

When you continue to issue tax breaks to these corporations eventually they cash out or go bankrupt in the long run and the taxpayers continue to have to maintain the area.

Long-term thinking is investing in Transit, roads, Hwy's making life very accessible for people, Businesses, and community. Instead they are cramming the developments on outdated infrastructure. This is a FACT 93-95 are a mess

How about California is similar to Massachusetts?

Or Chicago vs Boston

Both California and chicago have something in common. They are dead broke like Detroit.

All run by yours truly DEMOCRATS and I'm not even a Republican.
 
Re: TD Garden Towers

Scuttle off to the General thread pretty please.
 
Re: TD Garden Towers

Ugh, don't put me down as siding with Rifleman in any way, shape or form, but California needs to get it's ass kicked if it's ever going to straighten itself out, and having this cute little budget surplus for the time being is only kicking the inevitable further down the road.

This is the crap that never ends,
yes it goes on and on my friends.
Some users *clap* started spewing it,
not caring where it was;
now they'll continue spewing it
for ever just because........



The towers are uninspired, but I think the street level more than makes up for it,which is of course the part 99% of users will be dealing with. Unless you're driving in on 93 the towers aren't going to make much of an impression anyway.

At least they varied the designs and materials on them a bit, we could be getting glass or waterstained boxes.

My statement said nothing about debt. Your statement said California is "dead broke" like Detroit. A state with a $2.4 billion surplus, by definition, is not "dead broke."
