Just do like Kansai airport and build an island out past Deer Island.

Why bother building an island? In 20 years when all the world's coastal and island airports are under water, it might all be sea planes anyway.

Straight into the harbor, I say! There is room, and it would mesh with the spirit of past major construction projects.

Read the article tough guy. We should fix the environmental issues the state created for that community by putting Logan there.

Why do we study any history?? Because it will inform better decision making in the future. Not that difficult a concept

Agreed, I'm about halfway through. It is important to understand that we can try to not repeat past mistakes. I think people are equating this article with "poor people, woke mob complaining about economic instituion that brings billions to state" and not about trying to do better where possible.

It is also humanizing to recognize what challenges face people from now and the past.

Next headline "How Logan Airport exacerbates inequities among underserved communities." The author has a degree in "Rhetoric" from UCal Berkeley. I could not even make that up if I tried.

Also, East Boston destroyed part of Boston Harbor in the first place.

edit: whoa, guess the I angered the skinny-jeans/beanie cap wearing hipsters here.
