and the remainder are mostly new build multifamily in the same neighborhood, which was lovely, with pedestrian paths going everywhere:

From my visit to Chicago. Haven't been here in almost 15 years but I'm definitely impressed. Very clean, solid public transport options, great food scene, friendly people, great urban feel and impressive architecture. Boston could definitely learn a thing or two from Chicago.

If it weren't for the winters Chicago would be awesome.
 
Richmond has really good density and feels more like the last Northern city than the first Southern city. The skyline looks pretty good driving up from the South but is virtually invisible from the North until you turn a corner and are right on top of the place. The MXD residential under construction in Cambridge will barely eclipse Richmond's tallest building. It's not out of the realm of possibility that the Cambridge skyline itself catches up to Richmond's within the next decade.

This diagram is missing the glass building U/C above, which is in the low 400's. Still, this scale seems possible for near-future Kendall.
