We had this same sort of shit over the 5 story building that went up near Joe's Meat Market on Westminster. "oh no the character of the city etc"

I'm so tired of these Nimbys man... just what the hell. Building is up now and it's fine. Load of crying over nothing just to keep housing stock low. Let our fucking city grow.

I know a few shops that could/would likely order that ink for you. However you'll likely end up paying more for the special ink.

I did something similar for my tattoos - except not vegan

Without any additional details, my guess is some argument about "historic character." Either that or it's more pearl clutching about parking & traffic.

I'm not a big fan of demolishing houses in general, but it's clear that the Thayer/Brook corridor is getting denser, and I can't imagine how a 5 story building would be dramatically different from a 4 story building.
