What is the point of this article? Sorry but I don’t give a shit about green spaces when housing is so expensive. Drive 20 minutes west of Boston and there are hundreds of acres of green spaces. Also what is the city supposed to do shut down the airport and build a park there now.

You couldnt have actually read it asking this question, and you cant possible be dumb enough as to just suggest everyone drive west of boston... from East Boston????

Lol the article ended with the lady complaining about what east Boston might look like in the future. “Nobody in East Boston would be happy with that,” she said. “Not enough green space.” Idk id be happy with an increase in housing supply. Sure you don’t want to out west past 95 but there are parks and green spaces in so many of the suburbs of Boston.

The suburbs that allow the least amount of housing? How does that help someone in East Boston? Geniuinely confused here not trying tp argue.

No, you're trying to argue. There are parks and green spaces throughout Boston. It's not possible for everyone to have walking access to vast green spaces, not if you want to live in a city. East Boston has public transit just as the rest of Boston does, the green spaces Boston provides are accessible to Eastie residents.

I wasnt talking to you, I was talking to the person who suggested people in East Boston drive to West of Boston (which is insane). And yeah we could absolutely have more green space in every community. This whole "not possible" is BS.

Why is it insane to drive or take public transit to a green space? Idk where you are planning on making these green spaces. Last I checked most of the Boston/greater Boston area is developed.

Some of the suburbs of Boston have numerous multi-family neighborhoods (dorchester, Everett, Medford, Malden to name a few). These suburbs and others are the housing supply for boston. If someone built more housing in any of these suburbs or in east Boston it would help meet the insane demand for housing we are seeing in Boston. The Boston and greater boston area has 1000s of acres of already accessible greenery which is incredible considering the population of Boston. You can’t have the city life and also have every city have 100s of acres of parks.

Green spaces are important for the health and well-being of people who freaking live here. The pollution being put into the air by Logan is astounding

Awesome dude, by chance how many are in wealthy areas vs poorer areas and how does a park in Brookline diminish air pollution in East Boston?

Lol they are throughout the city…. Look at a map. Parks throughout the city impact the air quality throughout the city. The cities in and around Boston don’t operate within a bubble
