North End | Downtown Small Infill Projects

[Suffolk 83]

Seems like most of the architecture they’ve put up in the north end in the last 10 years is fucking terrible

The fact that side setbacks are technically required in this neighborhood is hilarious... we are cooked!

Welp, after all, those shadows are killers.

I was at an event once where the Mayor was speaking and some clown took the last question to ask her if she specifically opposed the 2 Charlesgate West tower because we all know shadows are a harm to human health and the environment, and that on those grounds she must oppose the project.

Never forget that shame is dead and people will lie about things, even in public. Not at all a surprise that a building barely in the North End, clearly improving the streetscape is going to be opposed by the old timers.

The building next door to the right has a property line window on the side, which would trigger a setback for fire hazard. They must be proposing blocking the window (which should not be there on the property line anyway, per code).
