Used to walk by this everyday to and from work...haven’t seen it since March. Doesn’t look like much progress since.

Cheap looking projects aren't helping the case for new development in the North End. It's giving NIMBYS plenty of ammo to shoot new proposals down.

Why do we want new development in the North End? Sure, there are probably ~10 empty lots left in the neighborhood and I'd love for a small-scale, mixed-use building to be put on every one of them, but other than that, the North End is close to the best urban neighborhood in America. There isn't much that any new development can do but ruin it.
