Re: Residences at Kensington
Responding to pdoc816 comment "The density is great, the building and it's purpose an improvement over the old."
One of the issues I have about the redevelopment of the combat zone over the past 15 or 20 years is that the city seems to have encouraged/ condoned the demolition of historic commercial buildings merely because their current use was xxx orientated. I think wiping out buildings due to the current use is poor policy, especially, when the porno bookstores and theaters were in decline anyway due to porn on the internet.
Don't get me wrong, I think additional density helps here and elsewhere in downtown Boston. However, although this neighborhood is probably cleaner, safer and busier now compared to 20 years ago, it has lost aesthetic appeal IMO.
