i spent most of the spring, and 2 weeks in July in Chicago. (balance of the summer in Colorado and LA). Chicago is getting fantastic vertical and horizontal architecture to go with their cup already runeth over .... LA is going vertical with a half dozen new very tall towers planned on top of what is already u/c or breaking ground soon. It seems another 800' tower is proposed every other month. To breaking ground seems about 9-12 months on every one of them!.
Dare mention in the Globe or Archboston (an architectural forum) the miraculous effect 115 Winthrop, MT, SST, 1 Congress, Harbor Garage would have, or that 710' at 1 Bromfield would create a 2nd peak.....
people fly into rage, hurl endless vicious assaults, "yimby's are just as bad...."
To desire proposed projects (with the support of City Hall) actually get built, bring thousands of new jobs put food on the table, make it possible for our city to build new transit, and transform people's lives–doesn't make you a Yimby. No need to apologize for wanting to see Boylston Street fill with retail–instead of businesses closed and nothing to take their place.
How does desiring to see the final pieces of the chess board put up, and our forlorn 400-500' 60s and '70s boxes forming the infill of an incredible Downtown skyline make you a yimby?
