The article by my calculation (and I may be colored by the fact that I wrote it) goes to lengths to show that today's Assembly is looking good. As things stand today, the property looks very likely to accomplish the goal of bolstering Somerville's tax base. But like the Beacon Street article, which -- contrary to the take of some -- wasn't about bike lanes and hotels so much as it was about context, this article seeks to show how we got here and who has benefited. (Again, I note this is a matter of intent and colored by the fact that I wrote it.) I went to Assembly last week. It looks great and I'm excited to see how it develops going forward. I've never seen a Starbucks so nice.
Hope you're doing well post-City Hall -- and glad to see you've been reading and contributing to the discussion thus far.
