Walking distance, it's a stretch to call this "steps from Davis Square". How far can you go in other directions and be as close to the T as 1188? On Beyond Powderhouse? Well down Yerxa Road in Cambridge, almost to the railroad tracks? The Porter Square Shaw's?
I do like the "Greater Davis Square" concept, though. It seems like something that should come after the fact, though, and not forced as it seems to me in the marketing/website.

True that nothing of great value was lost. I'd argue a modest increase in density would have been three floors, but anyhow. I'm still trying to figure something of this (perceptual) scale gets built halfway to the Arlington Line, but One Davis Square runs into massing problems.
