Where does South End become more Roxbury?... Where does Roxbury become more the South End?...
For example is 1850 Washington St Boston MA 02118 considered more Roxbury? or South End?

Good luck with that one, Don

Some say Mass Ave is the dividing line, others say Lenox Street. Google maps moves the line all the way down to Melnea Cass Blvd, but I am willing to bet that not even a real estate agent could say that with a straight face.
Hammond Street.

If it's a new restaurant opening up, it's the South End. If it's a shooting in front of that restaurant, it's Roxbury.

Is a known bad apple to the city, and yet he keeps getting permits. You'd think that this would be exactly the type of guy ISD would want to prevent from future construction in the city. He built three houses behind the house I used to live in. He started work before he had all his permits filed, ignored approved working hours, and his site security during construction was awful. While I had no issues with the housing going where it did (and the houses themselves were fine,) it was a bit jarring to wake up one morning to the sound of a backhoe suddenly tearing up the land behind you.
The basis of the Bay State Banner's article is crap.

Without answering the question as to whether or not Joe LaRosa is or is not a good developer, he had every right to include the square footage of the unusable pudding stone into his calculations. You know why? Because he owned the fucking property! Imagine if any property owner weren't able to include wetlands or any other impediment into the calculations for floor-to-area ratio?! It'd make a mess of the entire system. The Bay State Banner needs to get bent.
