  1. Glad to hear the City County Building still has function and is being utilized.

    Would hate to see the building razed. It is an iconic piece of our downtown and
    our skyline.

  2. Glad to see they all came to their senses on this. Consolidating the city offices and services was always the best for all of us, physically and financially.

  3. I think this is the most reasonable outcome, especially with the unclear future of generic office space demand. City officials and employees need to interact with the public as part of their jobs, so having a place for them to do that isn’t going to change as much with the rise of remote work.

    Also what a wonderful serendipity that a person with the surname of Urban has found himself so adept in the realm of commercial office space to rise so high in the ranks of urban real estate. Kudos to him.

  4. Geeeez, such blasphemy!!!!! “We’re on the brink of, or maybe even in, a recession, depending on who you ask. We have very high interest rates, and we have high inflation, so … I think a lot more work needs to be done before one can decide what all those alternatives really are.” Tell that to the Biden group. You’d think the Mayor could have figured that to himself and avoided jerking developers around. But, Bidenomics is a figment of Washington democrats imagination. Of course many (democrats) choose to ignore what caused inflation to balloon out of control to begin with…….ugh, Biden takes office, gas/diesel prices shoot through the roof and here we are. Costs for everything else rose right along with costs of transportation. Inflation spirals; to control that, “oh, we have to jack up interest rates”. And here we are, 1979 and the early ‘80’s once again. As I recall democrats thought they coul be

    1. Good grief. Back away from the TV or at least change the channel. Binge watching OAN, Newsmax and Fox can be hazardous to your health.

    2. Lol…..
      Watching & reading NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NYT, WAPO, LAT, Atlanta Urinal, Boston Globe,
      any Gannet Newspaper, NPR, PBS, will really dumb you down.

    3. Yikes. Too much time on Patrick’s hands to take a story about reasonable use of a skyscraper in our city currently 56% vacant into bidenomics? Must hurt to be this angry all of the time.

      One other comment back on the topic of “jerking developers around.” How about the developments at old city hall, convention center hotel, eleven park, elanco, jail redev, northeastern mass ave?
