Yes, (L.A.) is a disastrous, overbuilt, shithole.

True about LA, but at least they're significantly expanding their rail rapid transit system, something Boston is a bit behind on to say the least.

Boston does have worse traffic gridlock than LA, See https://www.businessinsider.com/us-cities-with-most-traffic-2019-2019-2. So, I see Boston as sinking into a condition of worsening gridlock, with lack of funding and the provincial cities that comprise most of the metro area blocking much of the needed transit expansion. At least LA doesn't have that problem so much.
 
Literally the only answer is rail. Its annoying watching Baker, Walsh tip toe around it. They know it, we know it, it IS the answer, regardless of if ppl want to say it or not.

I think we should go all in on rail and make it our point of pride in Boston/Ma, like Tokyo. Were a competitive city, we should have a transit authority to brag about. We should want and demand our rail to be the best in the country, extensive, and convenient. The major pieces are already there, it just needs a few very key parts, but one of the perks with being so old is theres rail lines everywhere in MA. Our old and neglected rails will set us free, we need to DEMAND it and take pride in it.

Theres no specific way things have to work. Just because the US has historically been highway obsessed, doesnt mean we have no choice. New England as a whole could choose to become very conscientious about how we choose to travel, and realizing that things ARE changing and traffic HAS to be fixed, choose to be leaders heading into the technological future and figure this thing out for ourselves by going out and doing it.

NE is extensively connected throughout its entirety by rail and its just waiting to be used to its full potential. We could change our commuting habits to rail oriented and figure it out how the rest ties in to that. We could go at it on our own and lay the blueprint, get it figured out, then give the rest of the country a model to follow. If a working model exists it would be much easier for other states to get on board when they can directly look at the numbers and watch its success in real time. Also the more cities that are connected with shorter travel times, the closer they become.. which helps with trade between them and also people are able to live much further from their work where cheaper housing is.


AAnd lol sorry way off topic. Tall, nice, quality, cant wait, big upgrade...

This building feels tall and fat when you walk by it since it stands apart, but the sister construction is going to dwarf this building, similar to what's happening next to the Garden. It will be interesting to watch such a prominent building disappear into the background.

Someone has called this a fatty?
Are you possibly confusing this with the office tower?
We point to it as a fatty (deservingly) from time to time.
 
Yup, the facade is turning out to be a repeat of the Kensington & 45 Stuart St. just a mile south--bland, sterile, monotonous, wholly lacking in depth, texture. Poured cardboard. Depressing.
