I’m very excited to be living here, next to the coming redevelopment of 30 of the most valuable and connected acres of real estate in the whole country. I will be fighting hard for more city. https://www.cambridgeday.com/2024/08/08/mbta-looks-for-private-developer-to-take-on-aging-alewife-garage-and-the-acres-around-it/
@bikepedantic Assembly Row is 45 acres, so that has to be a model, which will then spur the redevelopment of the adjacent strip malls and light industrial
@chrisbegley @bikepedantic Assembly is better than the Seaport, but we should do even better than either
@DemonHusky @chrisbegley @bikepedantic Assembly isn't even done yet, so I'm definitely looking forward to more changes, but what did get built could have been better
@DemonHusky @chrisbegley @bikepedantic I look forward to retiring in Assembly Row 🤣
@inliuofjoan @DemonHusky @bikepedantic hospital, grocery store, and bar.... Everything one needs in their 70's
@chrisbegley @DemonHusky @bikepedantic accessible units and wide sidewalks too!
@inliuofjoan @chrisbegley @DemonHusky almost everything new sucks, because public space and parcels are laid out to modern standards, and of course its all ‘luxury’ (which thankfully depreciates). Seaport is Exhibit A. We can get ‘the bones’ right on some of these mega-redevelopments (like Alewife) and set ourselves up for having real contributing parts to our city’s character
