No offense but there’s no room for massive development in the south end...and no offense if icould afford it I’d live in the south end over any of those new landscapers you’re posting ...it’s alreadu a great urban neighborhood..the massive development is seaport, northpoint, Kendall, Suffolk downs, assembly row, downDorchester ave, and eventually wideltt circle
Are people supposed to care where you would rather live? There are over 100,000 people moving into DC every 8 years now that disagree with you. That’s why you live in Boston and they live here.
Would you like to back that up with any sort of proof?
And yes there are parts of Boston, Mattapan, Hydepark, Upper Roxbury that arent really growing either. Every city has its hot an cool neighborhoods.
The fact is D.C. Isn't really growing that much faster than Boston.
Sure, our development of new units is pretty much happpening in three sub markets.
1. Navy Yard/Capital Riverfront/Wharf
2. NOMA/Union Market/Mt. Vernon Square
3. Logan Circle/Mid City/Shaw
As they say, if you build it they will come. That goes for any city in the world. It’s not like household sizes are rising. You need new construction to add net growth versus natural growth.

I mean like actual statistics.
Like there are neighborhoods in Boston where 1 unit Brownstones are belong split into 6 units so the population is going up withou much visible change. So Cranes in the air can be deceiving,
And respond to my earlier post..comparing Mission Hill to Edgewood ...I also think the extent of what you call urban core is bogus..McDonald’s and shopping plazas with parking lots?? I’d happily end this discussion saying dc is building more square footage..the urban core is larger but not significantly and Boston has areas of higher intensity continuous vibrancy in its inner core whereas dc has plenty of vibrancy but not always continuous for miles in its inner core..based on my experience
You would like to live in a world where dc core is not only larger but like triple the size..like your comparing nyc to Boston or something..
You’re missing the point...it’s the beauty of the project because of the height..most of what you’re sending me is ugly
Wait...are we talking about architecture? I must be in the wrong thread. Architecture is as subjective as it gets. It’s like genres of music. Everyone likes different things. This thread is not about architecture. It’s about vibrancy and I’m posting development that will increase vibrancy over a larger area.

You mean Eckington right? That’s the divide between the two neighborhoods.
