I was there yesterday too much walking to get anywhere!
In the sense that both photos show spaces built around automobiles? Yes.
Hey, if you guys are happy with the way the Seaport is turning out, great.
I'll be in the North End.

I get that the Seaport never was and never will be a dense urban neighborhood, I just don't get why people want me to be OK with that.
This was a fantastic once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that was lost, it should be grieved.

The high price of land pushes out the multi-parcel block concepts for most established cities. This seems to be a universal law of economics. There is no mechanism for forcing multi-parcel blocks on the market. And, why would you.
Given this fact, protection and appreciation for the existing older fabric of the city (north end, south end, back bay, boston wharf) is important to the city so that there can be a plurality of places to have different experiences. This is what makes a rich and engaging city. Midtown, or Downtown Manhattan means nothing without the Soho, the Village, or Harlem. And visa versa.
