But they survive because they “work” for the current tenants and owners. Some areas of multi-story housing-above-retail work better than others as the basis of retail districts. (Newbury Street vs. portions of Washington Street in Brighton, for example.) Legacy buildings can be made fresh and lively; brand new construction can be generic and deadening. (The reverse is also true.) Design matters. Increased housing is a worthy goal. But so is compatibility with adjacent neighborhoods. And so is continuity for retail businesses that are comfortable — and prospering — on the Harvard Street of today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605fddab97b75001f5792523/64830f31-05d1-4d51-95fd-323fced95a4e/Screenshot+2023-03-14+7.48.20+AM.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605fddab97b75001f5792523/0c13546e-e852-426c-93d6-de87e9fb5f3d/Screenshot+2023-01-18+3.21.35+PM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605fddab97b75001f5792523/7d4fa727-3282-45a6-bd19-5c21a58ec9e4/Screenshot+2023-01-04+7.53.27+PM.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605fddab97b75001f5792523/8f40c06e-502a-4b27-b074-0f778668d9e5/Screenshot+2023-04-03+5.36.45+PM.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605fddab97b75001f5792523/0d623d46-6e35-43f6-9609-01899778a4e3/Screenshot+2023-06-01+9.10.13+AM.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605fddab97b75001f5792523/f88a691d-8f4a-49c1-94e8-b58916390959/Screenshot+2023-05-01+11.21.09+AM.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605fddab97b75001f5792523/d838547a-120f-4847-af49-630a6dc1837c/Screenshot+2023-03-11+3.37.26+PM.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605fddab97b75001f5792523/ed6eb1c3-d5db-4172-ba42-2c290cfb76f3/3+demolitions.jpg Home - Make it stand out Three proposed demolitions and the buildings that would replace them.

For one thing, there is ample evidence from history that even the federal government, with its vast resources of dollars and data, struggles with the once-per-decade chore of counting every last resident, community by community. Clearly, conducting our own census would be costly, complicated, and duplicative.On the other hand, Brookline actually does do a census count of a type. It is known as the “Street List of Persons,” and it is conducted annually by the “Board of Registrars” in accordance with a Massachusetts law dating to 1938. Here is what it looks like (the current one dates to 2021 and is also yellow. The color changes annually).

But they survive because they “work” for the current tenants and owners. Some areas of multi-story housing-above-retail work better than others as the basis of retail districts. (Newbury Street vs. portions of Washington Street in Brighton, for example.) Legacy buildings can be made fresh and lively; brand new construction can be generic and deadening. (The reverse is also true.) Design matters. Increased housing is a worthy goal. But so is compatibility with adjacent neighborhoods.
