Re: Seaport Square (Formerly McCourt Seaport Parcels)
Probably very few. Not many people like to live where they work, regardless of whether the residential areas there are in their price bracket. Also, I don't think walking a mile and a half from the Leather District or Chinatown in a suit is going to be a popular commuting option.
Besides, transit shouldn't be geared toward creating insular, walled-off neighborhoods. It kind of defeats the purpose...
And how many of them are moving to the Seaport itself, not to mention DTX, Chinatown, Leather District, and Southie? You don't plan for how things are today, you plan for how things are going to be, right?
I thought the theory of the Seaport was to be a live/work/play district. You don't need to transport people in and out of the place where they already are.
