Probably need to make how property values rise arguments to him.

Certainly he’s one who has benefitted enormously from the spending on the rivers and turning them from an asphalt expanse to a pedestrian friendly series of bridges.

OTOH, a tunnel under Kennedy plaza would likely have the same effect as the Rebello tunnel under Six corners in EP - and kill them.

His dad was wiser.🤷🏼‍♂️

Truth. He doesn’t get that bike lanes and the scooters actually make the city more desirable for young talent and start-up businesses and help his property values. But how on earth DOESN’T he get that? Kendall Square is one hour north. NYC is a short train ride away. Both have gone full blast with pedestrian infrastructure and have the most expensive real estate in the world…
