Reply to comment by George4Mayor86 in Seaport Residents Cheer After Judge Halts Construction of Skyscraper; Developer Says ‘Just a Temporary Roadblock’ by kapuasuite
For what it’s worth, I’m not necessarily on their side and in general I support all additions to our housing stock but this isn’t as cut and dry as “we hate skyscrapers and this blocks my view” - the location is an EPA Brownfields site that has not been fully remediated and surrounding schools have to keep all windows sealed to avoid toxic mercury exposure. There also appears to be some degree of credibility to the quid pro quo claim given the developer tossed $40mm at a city project nearby. Seems like the courts were where this was headed one way or another.
