i like the Theater Yaeey!
i enjoy hearing everyone's point of view. i particularly like BB's and DD's (and many others i'm leaving out) diverse opinions. BB is very hard to impress, which make his opinions in the context of multi layers of sophistication (or lack thereof) for present + future planning very noteworthy. Massing density and urbanity count too! Boston's planners are deer caught in the headlights! As long as we continue to build squat garbage on just about every fucking parcel in this City, i'll continue to refuse to back off from that position.
As far as long term planning for the future, the massing and density of this project SUCKS; obvious kindergarten, AOC-level.... scores at 1982/Flynn era/ live in the moment SHIT you expect to see in a mid-western sprawl city like St. Louis, Nashville, Denver or Dallas.

i like the theater. i especially love that the Red Sox can put so many types of activities inside! But, like many of the sites that exist in the core of the Metro, this parcel is an iconic/once in a generation type opportunity. It requires planning at an extreme level of mastery--(and this clearly ain't it). Compare this site to Long, Rowes or Lovejoy Wharves. It abuts what ostensibly, would someday be a National Monument. You don't you get to go back and re-do it. This site is IVY LEAGUE class. You get it right the first time or fail. Do you get to graduate from Harvard with a bunch of incomplete's?
