State Supreme Court is blocking that, nothing to do with Wu.

Lol, you want her to be an architect that caters to your standards as well?

It didn’t, it completely rejected it in July because approval went through an illegal process. The process needs to start over, and it’s being done by Baker, so not on Wu.

Regarding number 2, that development includes over 700 new housing units of which more than half have already been built at The Sudbury, and the entire project will include retail/restaurant space. Writing the entire project off as a hideous lab building is laughably off base.

Did you miss the part about this development including over 700 residential units?

And again, this development includes over 700 new housing units. Having high housing costs doesn't mean it's a good idea to stop all other forms of new development

In some cases yes; it depends on the building
