Ice cream shops are OUTLAWED in Boston. Shocking, but true. Here's why... Under current Boston zoning code, ice cream shops are considered "take-out shops". All take-out shops are considered a "conditional use" under the code. Which means... ...in ANY neighborhood of the city, to open a small local ice cream shop you have to go through a full zoning board of appeals process to get conditional approval. That's 9 months (if you're lucky) of paying rent while you go through the zoning process before you can sell a single scoop. Think about how hard that makes it just to open a small, simple ice cream shop. 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁: The 4000 page Boston zoning code is littered with amendments, contradictions, and complexity that leads to a bureaucratic mess of a process to build or open anything. Even ice cream shops. 🍨 This is a big reason why housing is so difficult to build. And so expensive. Good news is, zoning reform is FINALLY underway. We've got a long road to go, but the process of simplifying the zoning code is starting. We just need to get out of our own way, stop neighborhood infighting, and make it happen so we can have a forward-thinking, simplified zoning code. And lead the way for other cities and towns to follow. I, for one, want more ice cream. More housing too. #boston #zoning #housing #icecream #zoningreform #nimby #yimby

The Wharf's Maine Avenue has ousted downtown's Pennsylvania Avenue as DC's priciest commercial street. The Wharf's No. 1 spot comes as employers are increasingly trying to coax workers in with shiny new offices in bustling mixed-use areas full of housing, dining, and entertainment. Maine Avenue SW is the country's 10th-most expensive street, clocking in just below Miami's Brickell Avenue. This isn't to say Pennsylvania Avenue's days are over — it's still the second-most expensive street in the city, while New York Avenue NW is third. DC is unleashing a slew of initiatives to help downtown find its groove again and compete with 24/7 neighborhoods like The Wharf. The decision to keep Capital One Arena in DC could kick off a downtown revival. #washingtondc #dcrealestate #washingtondcrealestate #realtor #realestate #cheneyandco #compassdmv #mostexpensive

Personally I still remain opposed to the redevelopment of Lowesmoor Wharf for the following reasons : 1) Knocking down the Vesta Tilley Building : where the Internatiinally renown artist performed & why the building is so named. What other City would stand-by & allow the destruction of our History ? 2) Forced relocation of Worcester Foodbank - currently ideally located at the heart of the City. 3) The destruction of the Lowesmoor Community. this has become the heart of our diverse Communities & with it comes Cultural exchange. 4) Why build yet more unwanted Retail Units 10 minutes walk from the High Street that is already struggling to survive ? 5) Overall the rest of the proposals are reasonable, providing the Engine Works home of the 1882 Worcestershire Exhibition, remain & is sympathetically restored. https://lnkd.in/gcTt4Qja

The most sustainable building is an existing building and adaptive reuse allows what’s old to be new again.

Very impressive. Makes me wonder what our friends from "Tombstone" might have said about this: Wyatt Earp: You know I was thinking, what this town could really use is a [Bal Harbour Shops pop-up]. Sheriff Behan: Really. That’s not a bad idea. Send a signal we’re growing up. Doc Holliday: Way ahead of yourselves, aren’t you boys? This is just another [rapidly growing state capital with high-tech industries and a highly trained workforce]. Sheriff Behan: Have you seen how everyone dresses – awful toney for a [mere state capital]. No sir the die is cast, we are growing. Be as big as San Francisco in a few years, and just as sophisticated. Doc Holliday: … Very cosmopolitan! #realestatedevelopment #RaleighNC #CRE #realestate #commercialrealestate #capitalmarkets #retail #retailrealestate
