31-unit TOD proposed for vacant lot across from Jefferson Park Transit Center
It also is the southern terminus for the new Pace Pulse to Niles, has a Metra line running with an extra reverse commute to Lake Forest, and still has the Blue Line to O’Hare, with Schaumburg via PACE. It’s very convenient to a lot of other job centers that aren’t in downtown.
With Metra running as an "express" to downtown during rush, it would at least help bear the load at critical times. This location is one of a few that has both rapid rush hour service and all-hours coverage.
A walk around Anable Basin, Amazon’s future home in Queens
Anable Basin is almost a carbon copy of the South Lake Union district in Seattle where Amazon HQ1 is located. It was a warehouse district and Paul Allen’s Vulcan Real Estate bought and developed a majority of the land in the area. If you want to see the future of the Anable Basin, look at South Lake Union.
A’s propose Bjarke Ingels ‘jewel box’ design for new waterfront ballpark
I had these thoughts as well regarding the proximity to BART. However, there are three BART stations within about a mile of this location (West Oakland, 12th Street, and Lake Merritt).
Councidentally, AT&T Park across the Bay is about a mile from both the Montgomery and Embarcadero BART stations. When it was built it was similarly situated in a brownfield port area with not much going on around it.
Today, no one would say that AT&T is isn’t a runaway success that has anchored the rebirth of SOMA and subsequently Mission Bay; and it’s done this despite being a mile from BART. I have similar hopes for the future success of this site as well.
Elon Musk’s Boring Company abandons plan for tunnel below Westside
If ever there were a project where a full environmental review is justified, this would be it… seems like the same drama will play out on other side of town. Silver Lake NIMBY’s are no joke!
Under-construction ‘Emerson on Krog’ is bringing more million-dollar townhomes to Beltline
And just what has been Atlanta’s "character" ? I’ve watched this city and environs for many years now, and I couldn’t begin to identify its "character". Are the characters of East Lake, Cascade Heights, Buckhead, Reynoldstown, Sylvan Hills, Kirkwood, Midtown, West End, Old 4th Ward, Downtown, Westview, VaHi, Ponce, Cabbagetown, etc, etc, all the same ? Are all the city’s neighborhoods that homogeneous……..or do some places have their own character ?
Rampant pollution in Piedmont Park’s lake spurs community cleanups
I’ll start with an easier question…..
Why in the gods name is CoA contracting with a company based out of Brunswick, GA to take care of a lake that is 277 miles away? There isn’t any accountability. Hire locally so you have someone readily available to address these issues.

For $525K, a Midtown East co-op in an Emery Roth-designed building
they are NOT oversized soundproofed windows. These are regular double pane windows all the apartments have, they are NOT oversized, they are the standard size they made for these apartments for that time era.
They look like they have another lawyer of windows on top of the bronze ones, as clear as day you can see the silver grey color. the bedroom windows and the living room windows look terrible with the second lawyer of windows as they slide back and forth and there are the splits in the middle of the bronze windows, that looks terrible and un-functional, plus NOW there is more glass to wash. That was a terrible idea and I’d have them removed on day one. I absolutley hate the way they look.
oversized windows, to me, are floor to ceiling wondows that take up almost a whole entier wall.
these are NOT. they are double hung in the bedroom and the living room is considered a "picture window" they are not oversized.
How old are the people that write these articles??are they transplants?
I shake my head on reading them all. broker babble at its highest level.
Rampant pollution in Piedmont Park’s lake spurs community cleanups
Finally! Ive noticed the condition of the lake for a while now and wondered if anyone would speak on it. Lets just start a capital campaign to fully upgrade the lake. Deepen it, clean it, and for goodness sake can we get some kind of paddle boat operation going?
Good news for LA buyers? The number of homes on the market is way up
Speaking recently with some of these folk you mention, on a business deal to have them send people here to buy our services, the easy means of getting money out of China and into the US was clamped off over a year ago. There is residual money floating around, yes. Much of what did come in bought commercial property downtown.
A million dollar or greater investment in US business was a fast track to green card etc. That’s been slowed with the Chinese. Nonetheless, they play the LONG game. They don’t care if prices drop a little or fall off a cliff for ten years. We buy on credit and sell when the chips are down to "try and git sumpin’ out of it". The Chinese pay cash, and wait… Generations.
The MASSIVE influx of Chinese cash hugely upset residential and commercial realestate in Los Angeles. Many locals cashed out at insane prices. And others, well… they pay $1,500 for a bedroom and shared bath, 4 people to a house, and park 5 blocks away for the pleasure of being able to call themselves a Silver Lake Angeleno. The powers that be waited much too long to get a handle on the influx of Chinese money. And the Mayor and City Council? Well, the Mayor is running around Iowa and pretending to care about homelessness 24 months before the 2020 Presidential election.
"Forget it Jack, it’s Chinatown…."
Waiting for that Piss and Vinegar, self-styled, laissez-faire investor/economist, whose internet handle I forget, to come ’round to smugly chime in….

It seems at some point soon, the lake may need to be drained, or partially drained, so the muck and trash can be dredged and removed, and maintenance completed. On a side note, I had moved to a small farm far south of Peachtree City for a few years, and returned to Atlanta afterwards…the amount of trash (especially per capita in the rural areas) was way more than I experience in Midtown. It was kinda disappointing that people who enjoy living in the country throw out a massive amount of trash. I guess there is trash everywhere, including people.
