This entire land use approvals process is a joke and needs to be reformed.

We go from a soaring landmark supertall to a nondescript filler tower. Worse skyline and streetscape, less tax revenue, less new housing. Also less money for the expanded Seaport Museum and for local community improvements.

And why? Because a few rent controlled for life grannies in an ugly subsidized housing complex didn't want their river views partially blocked.

Mayor Adams, fix this mess. NIMBYs need to be stymied from blocking the land use approvals process.
