Driving in the Charles was amazing.

Any ecommendations fo a theapist?

Salt, duh! For winter. Some bridges don't have salt shakers built in, and those bridges are dangerous when there's snow.

Only if there is demand for a 10 story apartment building. The demand is high for Boston burbs because it gives the small town feel while providing an easy commute to Boston. With apartment buildings built near every commuter rail station till the cape this will go away. There will be little sense living here. If I wanted to live in a 10+ story building (I did) I would move to NYC, and would be making more $.

I loved it too! They make history fun

Just a clarification for anyone looking for the answer in this link, it comes about half way down in the comments, not in the main text of the post.

I mean nobody would build a 2000 unit building in a town that doesn't have water/sewage/gas to support it. You think they're just gonna slap up a building without functioning toilets, heat, or water? And if they somehow miraculously pull that off, that the building will be occupied?

And yeah, you're right, the issue ISN'T lack of demand. It's lack of supply. Hence the zoning proposition.

My friend visited from Buffalo and the Sox were away when she was here.. so we took her to a Fenway tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Check out the mineral galleries.

If you’re dropping the leading R’s you should probably talk to a speech therapist.

People are not keen on living in human anthills, that's why they chose a single family.

They lost me at putting a cat into a stroller.

$535,00?! When in like 2009?

Last line of the (long) article:

Nothing; they’re empty.

I have one about swimming next to one. It's horrible.

> Intersectional oppression

Yes, because every lesbian is low paid and oppressed.

I used to work in one of those converted warehouses next to the Autoport. Up close, these things are so big that it's unnerving.

More concerned about a car going over the top off the bridge.

This may be an unpopular opinion but I lived in the north end and was never enthralled with anything from Bova’s. Mike’s or Moderns for me

I really enjoy going to the USS Constitution. One of my friends commissioned on there as an Ensign and I routinely do the tour and always learn something new.

I'm totally with you. I'm just of the opinion that this would be 20-30 years down the road at best.

I don't think forcing bids on predetermined designs if forcing anything. I'm big on that and hadn't considered that process. Shame on me! But we're talking about force. I think we're on the same page.

I'm for government force in this case. I'm just for force in ways I want, and I think there are too many NIMBYs who are all heart, no head. Never mind that these modern 5/1 monstrosities tend to make things bland and useless, and real businesses can't really move in.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to check that out. It's been a while since I've shopped around.

My take is this. How many streets in Charlestown look beautiful? The brick and tight streets with shade. Beacon Hill is famous. One of the most famous streets in the country is Elfreth St. People want this.

People have sterile white, gray tones because that's easier to sell. It's ironically easier to sell because it's easy to paint over.

We just need to force developers to develop what we want. They aren't going to build to the vernacular anymore. They keep building stuff that makes no sense to me.
