No way. You go 5 streets back from the water and its barely touched.
Ding ding. The waterfront is changing rapidly, but it’s a quite small % of East Boston by area. Moreover, the non-Hispanic white population keeps shrinking as a % with most new residents being immigrants. Seems like a (at least partially) good outcome!No way. You go 5 streets back from the water and its barely touched.
Does anyone know what piers park phase 3 is supposed to be?
"Piers Park III will be a resilient oasis and add to the incredible system of parks and open space this community already enjoys", Madaro claims.”
“Piers Park Phase III is conceived as a 3.8-acre addition of greenspace to the existing Piers Park on the East Boston waterfront. The site is located adjacent to the Phase II site, along Marginal Street. ”
From that description the only thing I can imagine would be that phase 2 is built on pier 2. I just dont know why they wouldnt just say pier 2 then...

But its not adjacent to the phase 2 site. So I guess it would have to be the pier 2 site. The closest st is marginal so I guess they can say its “along” it. Hopefully if this is not it, this becomes phase 4 though. It also has its own pier here as well so this could add even more to the site.

Thank you for disagreeing without being disagreeable. I should take a page out of that book myself.
I live among old and new East Bostonians, owners, tenants, business owners, artists, and visitors. The air we breathe smells of jet kerosene and frustration. It's a frightening time when the once dispossessed see an opportunity for wealth -- scale that up to a neighborhood, where the playing field is far from level. Think about it as a realtor, a speculator, a lawyer. Or as an elderly female homeowner, or a young family, or a small business owner.
I encourage you to come look around here. Tell me when, I'll buy you a beer. You'll see projects of every scale and ambition, and nary a gesture in accord with intelligent urbanism, from Jane Jacobs to Léon Krier.
And I understand the need for privacy -- I like a degree of privacy as well. But privacy isn't the fuel that drives the public realm.
Cities don't guarantee you a view.
Or for the most part, a sense of privacy.
