Saddest part is this Braintree development is exactly what we need to see more of - in many ways it’s the perfect project to increase housing density.

Its impact on traffic is negligible, since it’s already within the overall mall area. It has no (I think) direct residential neighbors to piss off, in terms of “context”. It doesn’t require tearing down any existing residential.

Fighting against it is amazingly idiotic.

Quincy has plenty of housing that is this density, and it’s doing just fine. Hasn’t changed anything fundamental about the city.
