Sorry but you are one block north of the project in the phot I posted.

This seems like a sub-optimal system:

Apartments rejected next to Hibernian Hall

A proposal to replace two small stores next to Hibernian Hall on Dudley Street in Nubian Square with a five-story apartment building lost at the Zoning Board of Appeal today. Read more.

I get it though- they want buildings with room for families. 1 and 2 bedrooms all over the place just gentrification go into overdrive

Research shows that the demand is for smaller units, 3 and 4 bed units are almost exclusively split between roommates, roommates who would usually much rather live in 1 bed units if more existed. That was the entire argument for the compact living policy and drastically increasing the supply of studios to clear out space in the higher bed units

Yup. In Allston-Brighton, huge numbers of 2-4 bedroom units, which would be ideal for families, are split up by students or young professionals who can outbid them. Most would prefer to live in studios or 1 BRs by themselves (hell I wish I could have afforded a studio when I was a grad student in Allston), but there is nowhere near enough supply to accommodate demand, so they remain expensive and out of reach for most. That's why we need way more new studios and 1BRs.

Strange containers on site. Is this a new mode of construction? I've not seen them before on a Boston construction site.

Interesting?????
