Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2
What is this strawman argument? No one is arguing that we shouldn't build up. Please, build! We're responding the the hand-wringing over 10-stories being taken off a 60 story tower, and comments making it sound like Boston's future is in the pit because our skyline is "stale" or "dated."
"Do you think Dubai is a better city than Boston because it builds tall? Boston doesn't need to be like that. Boston should strive to be more like cities X, Y, and Z........ Oh, so it turns out cities X, Y, and Z are either currently building skyscrapers, recently completed them, or both? Well, that is all completely irrelevant. Boston should strive to be more like cities X, Y, and Z were in 1910."
