I was about to go on a whine and then realized that crapitecht David O'Sullivan already had a response for me in the photo.

Boy do I feel shut down.

I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. Can't say I blame him, really... his original proposal was more than reasonable, but the NIMBY squad came out in force and sent him back to the drawing board. 67 parking spots for 46 units? 4 stories is too tall, lest their precious swimming pools be shaded? "The wrong sort of people" moving in? Christ. If it were me, I'd have shown up with one of those big foam rubber hands, with the proper finger extended.

of West Roxbury continues. The city really needs to think of the children, and place a moratorium on apartment construction! Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children?! It's just going too far!

Have you been to that part of West Roxbury? Have you seen what's on that site now?

Pretty sure that post was an attempt at sarcasm.

I think it was a pretty good 'attempt', too.

And yes,I know that part of West Roxbury, Washington St. corridor very well; used to live there, and frequently drive through it to get to and from Rt. 1.

But as somebody who drove down there regularly, you know that's the part of West Roxbury the rest of West Roxbury would prefer to ignore - where most of the apartments and condos are. I'm not sure one more building is going to be the tipping point for that stretch.
