thanks for the starter kit

I hear people complain about the MUNI but believe me it 10 times better than the Boston MBTA.

Parking is a challenge the street I moved to has a slope that is steeper than a ski jump, never seen anything like it.

My partner and I are happy to be here. This is perhaps the only place outside of Massachusetts that our marriage will be considered valid. Boston and San Francisco are like first cousins I think.

I have seen first hand the impact a Home Depot can do concerning traffic. I can't fathom it here.

BTW does this sound familar?

The IKEA Project in Somerville. The IKEA project includes a very large two story 277,300 sf furniture store and warehouse in the first phase, 208,000 sf of office space that is slated to follow in later phases, 48,000 square feet of additional retail and 1,560 parking spaces, all on 16.6 acres of land which abut a thin MDC waterfront park along our rare and precious Mystic River shoreline. IKEA has planned a large surface parking lot as the center of our new "main street." The inclusion of office space is unusual for an IKEA project, but the four acre footprint of the primary retail operation is not. Yet we would welcome double the building sf if the surface parking lots could be eliminated, the permeable Mystic River park space expanded and the commitment to pedestrian and transit orientation made much more real.
