Description
Approximately 3,000 real estate and development leaders gather at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center for the Urban Land Institute's Fall Meeting. Mayor Walsh offers opening remarks and joins Jay Ash, Secretary of Housing and Economic Development for Massachusetts, for a panel discussion.
A
B
B
It
was
a
start
of
you
all
eyes,
long
history
of
leadership
in
this
great
city.
The
last
time
we
held
a
fall
meeting
in
Boston
was
in
2001
less
than
a
month
after
9/11,
due
to
the
leadership
of
uli
Boston.
That
meeting
turned
out
especially
meaningful
in
terms
of
being
together
in
sharing
ideas
on
the
future
of
cities.
B
B
Rather
than
give
you
a
full-scale
state
of
the
union
and
a
lot
of
facts
and
reading
on
and
on,
let
me
just
assure
you
that
we've
had
a
very
productive
I'm,
very
busy
12
months,
since
we
last
met
in
Los
Angeles,
each
of
our
major
meetings,
the
fall
and
spring
meetings
in
the
United
States,
the
Asia
Pacific
Summit.
The
European
conference
were
highly
successful.
B
B
So
yes,
as
global
chairman,
it
is
gratifying
to
tell
you:
we've
had
a
great
great
year,
but
one
year
is
just
one
piece
of
the
80
year
history
of
changing
people
and
lies
people's
lives
and
communities.
Everything
this
organization
has
ever
accomplished
and
will
accomplish
in
the
future
is
because
of
its
members.
B
You
members,
like
each
of
you,
are
dedicated
to
improving
our
cities
throughout
the
world
with
your
philanthropic
spirit,
specifically
giving
your
time
your
talent
and
your
treasure
to
uoy
our
work
to
shape
cities
is
far-reaching
and
long-lasting
and
the
better
we
are
at
demonstrating
the
impact
of
our
work.
Your
work,
the
more
success
we
will
have
at
inspiring
members
to
give
more
so
that
you
all
I
can
in
fact
do
more
and
capturing
and
communicating
the
impact
is
exactly
the
type
of
initiatives
that
our
new
strategic
plan
will
support.
B
You
lies
impact
is
best
demonstrated
by
outcomes.
We've
influenced
in
cities
nationally
and
across
the
globe.
For
instance,
here
in
Boston
revitalization
of
many
places,
Kendall
Square,
Roxbury,
Lowell
South
Bay
reflect
recommendations
made
by
Uli
advisory
panels
over
the
past
several
decades
across
the
country
in
Los
Angeles.
The
city
has
embraced
utilize
plans
for
transform
'''l
housing
to
shelter
the
homeless.
B
That
work
has
sparked
wrecked
by
recommendations
from
a
uli
panel
in
LA
just
last
December
and
just
around
the
globe
in
Asia,
a
panel
helped
Wuhan
China,
with
advice
on
how
to
become
an
international
model
of
a
smart
city.
Another
helped
Hong
Kong
rethink
its
long
term
development
plans
and,
most
recently
a
panel
in
Wolfsburg
Germany
advise
the
city
on
becoming
more
resilient.
B
You
lies
mission
and
our
drive
to
make
our
cities
better
for
all
remain
strong
through
the
execution
of
the
strategic
plan.
We
will
continue
to
expand
advisory
services
in
other
mission,
focused
active,
he's
even
more
and
we
will
grow
our
ability
to
measure
utilize
impact.
A
long
time,
tradition
of
Uli
is
measuring.
Impact
by
best
practices
is
through
recognition
through
our
awards
programs.
B
B
B
Congratulations:
you're
very
special
when
we
appreciate
it
very
much.
Moving
on
our
housing
awards
are
another
example
of
member
impact.
These
awards
are
given
each
year
by
Uli
to
elder
center
for
housing
named
after
its
founder
Ron
twilliger
Ron
has
always
been
a
passionate
about
affordable
housing
and
fortunately,
for
you
Ally.
He
has
made
the
Institute
one
of
his
key
philanthropic
choices.
B
C
C
C
Initially,
the
two
Williger
Center
work
focused
exclusively
on
workforce
housing,
housing
for
people
who
don't
qualify
for
low-income
housing
subsidies,
but
make
too
little
to
afford
market
rate
housing.
We
put
a
face
on
workforce
housing,
teachers,
nurses,
police
officers
and
firemen
who
could
not
afford
to
live
anywhere
near
where
they
worked.
C
C
C
Harbor
placed
residents
a
mixed
income,
housing
development
that
was
reopened
and
revitalized.
The
waterfront
of
downtown
Haverhill
Massachusetts
all
are
outstanding
examples
of
affordable
and
workforce
housing
and
I'm
very
proud
to
announce
two
recipients
of
the
Larson
award,
the
New
York
State
Mortgage
Finance
Agency,
and
the
Los
Angeles
County
Metropolitan
Transit
Authority
New

community
Restoration,
Fund
buys
or
modifies
delinquent
mortgages
to
provide
relief
to
struggling
homeowners
still
reeling
from
the
financial
crisis.
This
program
is
truly
innovative
and
groundbreaking.
C
Public-Private
partnership
that
has
successfully
demonstrated
how
thoughtful
interventions
can
expedite
community
renewal,
bringing
stability
back
to
the
housing
market.
Emily,
metros,
affordable
housing
policies
demonstrate
the
impact
a
non
housing
agency
can
have
by
leveraging
the
land
held
by
LA
metro.
Their
programs
include
a
fund
that
preserves
and
expands
affordable
housing
at
or
near
transit
stations
by
codifying
affordable
housing
into
the
Federal
Transit
administration's
community
benefits
category,
allowing
other
municipalities
to
adopt
similar
policies.
C
Our
Chairman
award
goes
to
the
Aspen
Skiing
companies,
workforce
housing
in
Aspen
Colorado,
which
repurposed
a
40-year
old,
RV
campground,
located
on
a
major
transit
corridor
into
a
hundred
and
twenty
bed.
Workforce
housing
community
of
small,
high-quality
factory
built
trailer
coaches
project
is
a
response
to
an
acute,
affordable
housing
shortage
that
threatens
the
viability
of
this
small
rural
resort
community.
C
C
Thank
you
and
congratulations.
Each
of
these
projects
and
policies
demonstrates
the
commitment
and
leadership
that
is
necessary
to
make
affordable
workforce
housing
accessible
to
those
who
so
desperately
need
it.
They
are
an
inspiration
that
I
hope
will
lead
to
more
solutions
for
more
of
our
communities.
Thank
you
and
enjoy
the
meeting.
D
Welcome
Uli
to
Boston,
you
couldn't
be
here
at
a
better
time.
Of
course,
we
always
have
historic
things
for
you
to
tour,
but
we
have
also
a
stork
development
pace
in
the
city
of
Boston,
as
you
can
see
by
the
cranes
and
a
record
amount
of
growth
we
have,
but
we
also
came
through
in
the
weather
for
you
and
then,
of
course,
our
citizens
are
in
a
great
mood.
After
that
Red
Sox
went
and
last
night
sorry,
our
New
York
associates
it's
my
pleasure
to
introduce
our
speakers
for
this

a
lifelong
champion

the
working
people
and
a
proud
product
of
our
city
of
Boston.
He's
our
54th
mayor
and
he's
on
his
second
term
with
incredibly
high
popularity
ratings
right
now.
D
Since
joining

unique.
So
please
welcome
to
the
stage
our
mayor,
Marty,
Walsh,.
E
Thank
you
very
much.
Brian
and
I
I
want
to
thank
Brian
for
his
great
work
in
the
city
and
I
was
backstage
listening
when
he
talked
about
the
Red
Sox.
There
wasn't
much
of
a
Crouch
chair
in
this
room.
So
in
case
you
don't
realize
who's.
Anyone
New
Yorkers
in
this
room,
all
right
I,
was
in
New
York.
Last
night,
I
was
coming
home
as
a
kid
at
the
Machine
I
said:
what's
the
score
on
the
game
goes
Boston's
1
in
3,
nothing.
E
So
he
was
all
upset,
but
good
luck
tonight,
not
too
much
like
anybody
from
usin
in
this
room.
All
right
we'll
see
you
next
week,
but
anyway.
Thank
you
very
much.
No
I
want
to
I
want
to
thank
I
want.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
being
here
today.
I'm
grateful
that
you
hold
in
this
conversation
in
Boston
I
want
to
thank
the
Urban
Land
Institute
in
particular.
I
want
to
give
ed
Walter
and
Tom
tomia.
E
Thank
you
for
being
here
in
this
city
and
in
a
few
minutes
myself
and
and
J
Ashe
we're
gonna,
have
a
nice
chat
about
our
city
and
where
we're
going
in
our
Commonwealth.
But
this
is
an
important
organization
in
an
important
important
conference
and
again
thank
you
for
having
it
here
in
Boston
Lin
you,
you
shapes
every
single
thing
that
cities
and
everything
else
who
our
cities
and
helps
everything
that
we
do
in
cities,
our
homes,
our
jobs,
our
public
spaces,
our
mobility,
our
environment
and
our
future.
E
That
means
the
real
estate
development
is
the
heart
of
the
relationship
between
the
public
and
the
private
sector.
Boston
has
done
pretty
well
in
this
area.
We
are
growing
as
a
city
and
we're
thriving.
Our
population
is
approaching
700,000
people
for
the
first
time
since
the
1960s,
it's
growing
close
to
roughly
10,000
people
per
year
since
I've
been
the
mayor
and
I
got
I
got
sworn
in
in
2014.
E
We
continue
to
add:
we've
added
20,000
new
jobs
every
year
in
the
city
of
Boston.
In
that
time,
our
unemployment
rate
has
been
below
four
percent.
Since
2017
we
launched
a
housing
plan.
Four
years
ago,
to
produce
53,000
units
a
new
housing
by
the
year
2030,
we
have
28,000
new
homes,
either
built
or
under
construction
right
now
we
have
another
25,000
in
the
planning
process
and
we
reworked
our
housing
plan
to
raise
the
number
from
53,000.
E
In
all
nine
point,
three
billion
dollars
of
construction
is
happening
right
now
in
Boston,
and
so,
as
you
came
to
the
convention
center
today,
and
you
see
the
the
cranes
right
out
here
in
the
sub
watch,
the
waterfront
we
had
them
all
over
the
city
of
Boston.
This
year,
we've
already
approved
over
6.4
billion
dollars
of
new
development
in
our
pipeline
and
we're
well
ahead
of
last
year's
pace.
So
we
look
looking
to
surpass
that
as
far
as
keeping
this
development
pipeline
moving
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
this
investment
creates
homes
and
jobs.
E
It
also
is
the
main
source
of
revenue
growth
for
the
city,
we're
able
to
invest
even
more
than
we
ever
have
been
in
our
schools
in
our
libraries,
our
parks,
our
police,
our
fire
stations,
our
EMS
job
training,
homeless
services
and
so
much
more,
but
our
relationship
with
the
real
estate
community,
it's
a
financial
is,
is
a
very
important
one
and
it's
more
than
financial.
It's
a
partnership
in
advancing
our
city's
values.
Recently
we
just
completed
our
first
regional
city
master
plan
in
over
50
years
in
the
city
of
Boston,
it's
called
imagine
Boston
2030.
E
We
talked
over
15,000
residents
of
our
city,
businesses
and
nonprofits.
Together
we
designed
the
roadmap
on
how
to
physically
grow
our
city,
showing
we
can
add
more
housing,
jobs
and
open
space.
It
also
makes
it
clear
what
kind
of
C
that
we
want
to
be
as
we
continue
to
grow,
because
one
of
the
the
Noxon
cities
is
that
we
don't
plan.
We
don't
plan
the
infrastructure,
we
don't
plan
the
schools,
we
don't
plan
the
libraries,
we
don't
plan
the
open
space,
and
this
truly
is
one
of
those
opportunities
where
we
did
all
of
that.
E
We
want
to
hold
on
to
our
diversity
in
our
city,
and
we
want
to
continue
to
welcome
our
immigrants
in
our
city.
Our
city
is
53%
people
of
color,
51
percent
women
in
twenty
eight
percent
of
the
people
that
live
in
our
city
were
born
in
another
country.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
a
city
where
opportunity
is
for
everyone,
no
matter
what
your
starting
point
is
it
coming
to
coming
to
Boston,
no
one
should
be
pushed
out,
and
certainly
we
feel
no
one
should
be
left
out.
E
We
want
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
we're
a
city,
that's
world-class,
because
it
works
for
the
middle
class.
Every
project
that
we
have
in
Boston
is
unique,
but
every
project
should
advance
us
one
way
and
other
towards
our
towards
the
goals
that
we've
laid
out
in
our
plan.
I
want
to
share
one
example
about
that
process.
If
you
follow
the
real
estate
in
Boston,
many
of
you
are
certainly
familiar
with
it.
The
windows
Square
garage,
which
is
in
the
heart
of
downtown
Boston,
was
a
broken-down
city
property
that
was
condemned
since
1997.
E
It
was
producing
no
revenue,
it
wasn't
parking
any
cars.
We
had
some.
We
had
to
close
it
down
because
of
safety
reasons.
It
was
used
at
one
point
for
1,100
parking
spaces
that
were
used
for
cars.
Now
is
reused
for
rats
running
around
they're,
literally
rats
running
in
the
in
the
facility.
So
we
put
out
a
request
for
proposal
at
any
point
in
the
process.
If
you
read
the
papers,
you
might
think
it
wasn't
going
well,
there
were
questions
about
the
value
of
the
property.
E
What
questions
about
the
shadows
that
it
was
going
to
cast
on
Boston
Common?
All
of
those
issues
were
resolved
in
the
shadow
impact
on
Boston
Common
was
minimal.
There
was
a
process
around
FAA
rules
in
the
height
of
the
tower
and
how
we
got.
We
got
that
resolved
working
with
the
FAA
two
weeks
ago.
We
just
closed
on
an
agreement
with
the
money
and
partners
and
here's
the
final
outcome.
E
The
initial
payment
to
the
city
of
Boston
for
the
land
is
102
million
dollars,
which
we
expect
another
50
million
dollars
that
will
come
after
the
condo
sell
our
commitment.
We
decided
to
take
this
money,
and
rather
than
put
it
in
the
general
fund,
do
one-time
expenditures
to
look
and
look
at
some
of
what
we
need
to
do
in
the
city
of
Boston.
E
Thirty,
five
million
dollars
to
renovate
continue
the
renovation
of
housing
developments
in
South
Boston
in
East
Boston
in
this
tower
has
going
to
power
positive
impacts
all
across
our
city
even
before
the
first
shovel
goes
in
the
grounds
and
the
construction
will
advance
our
goals
as
well.
It's
going
to
be
the
LEED
Platinum,
building,
making
it
a
national
model
for
high
performance
towers
in
the
country.
It
will
create
thousands
of
construction
jobs
while
it's
being
built
and
thousands
more
permanent
jobs.
E
Once
it's
completed,
it
will
bring
public
realm
improvements
down
to
both
to
outdoor
space
and
new
indoor
space,
and
we
estimated
about
twelve
million
dollars
a
year
in
tax
revenue
that
will
come
into
the
city
of
Boston.
The
occlusion
airy
component
of
this
project
is
25
million
dollar
investment
for
affordable
housing
in
Chinatown
to
help
us
relieve
the
displacement.
That's
happening
in
the
pressures
in
that
community.
This
project
is
special
because
it
was
a
city-owned
property,
but
the
values
of
this
are
the
same.
E
It's
about
how
do
we
shape
the
next
era
of
our
city's
history?
Parking
garages
make
an
interesting
historic
case.
They
group
they
grew
with
the
rise
of
cars
and
they
ended
up
dominating
a
lot
of
different
spaces
in
a
lot
of
urban
America.
We're
entering
a
new
era
right
now
was
starting
to
think
differently
about.
How
do
we
handle
these
garages
that
we
have
in
Boston?
So
parking
garages
in
Boston
are
a
major
source
of
conversations
and
proposals.
E
We
have
the
Government
Center
garage
near
Haymarket,
which
were
having
development
there,
The
Hobbit
garage
and
the
waterfront,
which
has
proposed
another
development,
dark
Square
garage
near
the
Greenway
which
we're
looking
at
and
also
the
motor-mount
garage,
which
is
in
the
theater
district,
we're
looking
at
development
in
all
of
those
different
areas.
These
are
all
in
different
stages
of
the
process
and
how
do
we
move
forward?
But
the
larger
point
is:
are
we
working
together
to
reimagine
urban
spaces
and
transportation
infrastructure?
E
We
we
don't
want
in
box
than
any
more
concrete
monsters
and,
if
you're
from
Boston,
if
you
look
where
I
work
every
day
in
City
Hall,
it's
a
big
concrete
monster
in
the
city
of
Boston
through
some
eyes.
It's
an
amazing
architectural
gem,
so
I
just
want
to
throw
that
out
there.
So
after
I
leave
here
that
I'll
get
yelled
out
for
saying
that,
but
in
all
seriousness,
we're
looking
for
mixed
uses
in
great
public
space,
we're
looking
for
creativity
and
great
design,
we're
looking
to
advance
our
values
together.
E
I
want
to
share
two
new
examples
of
how
we're
asking
your
industry
to
help
us
advance
our
goals.
First,
it's
about
achieving
greater
diversity
and
opportunity
and
development.
This
week
we
announced
new
criteria
in
an
RFP
for
developing
public
lands.
Proposals
have
showed
us
that
they
are
planning
to
achieve
diversity
on
projects
teams
working
together
in
contracting
and
what
they
will
do
to
avoid
causing
displacement
to
residents.
So
we
want
to
do
is
wealth
in
communities
of
color
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
also
give
opportunities
for
people
to
be
part
of
larger
scale.
E
Deals
in
the
city
of
Boston.
The
ideas
were
developed
in
the
plan
called
the
plan
doubly
square
process
working
with
the
community
in
Roxbury
they're,
building
on
the
strengths
of
our
residency
jobs
policy,
to
make
sure
that
the
people
that
are
working
on
those
projects
live
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
working
in
the
communities
they
come
out
of,
working
with
the
office
of
housing,
stability
and
working
with
a
new,
updated
housing
plan.
E
We
have
partners
who
are
doing
good
jobs,
and
these
issues,
including
some
here
today
and
I,
want
to
thank
all
of
you
that
are
helping
us,
we'll
move
the
agenda
forward
and
move
the
ball
down
the
field.
These
criteria
make
clear
that
everyone
who
wants
to
work
with
public
land
should
help
advance
public
goals
moving
forward.
We
have
an
issue
that
is
a
threat
not
to
only
our
growth
but
to
every
single
city
that
all
of
you
represent
in
this
room.
Is
climate
change
the
UN
report
out
this
week,
one's
of
major
impacts.
E
E
We
are
looking
with
to
what
happened
in
New,
York,
City
and
so
with
superstorm
sandy
and
in
Houston,
with
hurricane
Harvey,
we're
seeing
new
levels
of
storm
surge
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
in
January
we
saw
a
dumpster
not
too
far
from
this
building
floating
down
the
street,
we're
looking
at
what
we
can
do
along
our
waterfront
to
protect
our
entire
city
from
flooding.
But
here's
one
of
the
challenges
our
47
mile
waterfront
touches
at
least
three
hundred
and
fifty
six
different
property
owners.
E
There's
plenty
we
can
do
on
the
city-owned
land,
but
floods,
don't
care
about
property
lines.
This
has
to
be
a
true
partnership.
I'll
be
talking
about
more
about
this
next
week
at
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
breakfast,
but
I
can
share
one
important
piece
with
all
of
you
that
we're
inviting
developers
and
construction
industry
to
be
part
of
we
are
close
to
releasing
climate
resilient
design
standards
for
work
on
public
right-of-ways.
These
are
guidelines
for
designs
of
flood
barriers.
With
a
process
for
evaluating
your
options,
we'll
have
sample
designs
for
different
kinds
of
sites.
E
The
goal
will
not
will
not
only
protect
one
building
but
will
protect
spaces
around
that
building.
So
it's
not
just
about
protecting
that
one
property
owner,
but
it's
about
protecting
the
community
around
that
area,
buildings
and
streets
and
sidewalks
should
work
together
to
protect
neighborhoods
from
flooding,
help
us
maintain
access
to
emergency
responses
and
to
get
back
to
the
normal
get
get
back
to
normal
after
an
event.
E
So
in
all
these
ways,
public
sector
and
private
sector
are
working
even
more
closely
together
to
grow
our
city
and
stay
open
for
business
to
protect
our
city
and
sustain
our
values.
It's
working
for
Boston
and
people
are
taking
notice.
The
World
Economic
Forum
just
called
Boston
the
fifth
most
future-proof
city
in
the
world
due
to
our
strength
and
education
technology
in
the
environment.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
role
here.
E
D
D
D
So
mayor
and
J,
you
could
speak
for
the
governor
on
this.
You've
received
a
lot
of
attention
for
this
partnership
that
you've
put
together
and
how
effectively
you're
working
I've
heard.
You
referred
in
the
media
as
the
dynamic
duo
one
of
my
favorites,
because
you're
from
opposing
parties,
you're
from
your
labor
leader,
the
governor,
was
a
CEO
he's
from
business
side.
They've
referred
to
you
as
the
odd
couple
I
mean
you're,
getting
a
lot
of
attention.
First
up.
E
I
think
in
this
world
today
and
those
who
don't
understand
the
governor
is
a
Republican
and
I'm
a
Democrat
and
in
the
world
of
America.
Today,
I
guess
we're
not
supposed
to
talk
and
what's
supposed
to
fight
and
what
supposed
to
degree
to
disagree
on
everything,
but
I
spent
16
years
in
the
legislature,
and
you
know,
in
order
to
move
our
city
forward,
it's
important
to
have
a
really
strong
relationship
with
the
chief
executive
officer
in
order
to
move
the
state
forward.
E
I
think
it's
important
to
have
relationship
with
the
capital
city
and
the
governor
myself
have
teamed
up
aligned
in
a
lot
of
different
ways,
whether
it's
on
transportation
or
economic
development
and
I
teams
work
really
closely
together
and
we
want
it.
We
want
to
continue
to
advance
what
we're
trying
to
do
here.
We
have
something
special
in
Massachusetts,
one
of
the
one
of
the
reasons
General
Electric
and
they've,
made
it
perfectly
clear.
E
Jeff
Immelt
came
to
Boston
was
the
fact
that
he
had
a
Republican
governor,
Democratic
mayor
that
actually
liked
each
other
and
got
along
yeah.
We
when
he
was
trying
to
go
to
other
cities,
they
had
people
in
the
same
party
that
weren't
talking
on
each
other,
and
that
is
key
and
bottom
line.
The
governor
is
a
good
person.
Yeah
he's
a
big
heart
he's
a
good
man
and
we
have
a
great
relationship,
and
you
know
we'll
continue
to
have
that
relationship.
It.
E
Knew
who
he
was
because
he
was
a
and
F
I
wouldn't
say
I
liked
them
back
then,
because
I
didn't
get
all
what
I
wanted,
but
what
but
he
ran
the
budget
for
the
for
the
state.
But
you
know
there's
been
a
history
here
in
Massachusetts
particular
in
the
legislature.
It's
a
supermajority
Democratic
legislature,
but
I
would
say
that
there's
always
been
a
very
good
relationships
with
a
lot
of
people.
E
I
view
life
is
short
and
I
watch
what's
happening
in
Washington
DC
yep,
the
last
10
years,
and
it's
really
literally
crippled
the
country
to
watch
a
lot
of
ways.
We
don't
have
infrastructure
money,
we
don't
have
education
money,
we
don't
know
Public
Safety
money.
We
don't
have
a
climate
change
issue,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
things
and
by
not
having
that
relationship.
If
you
can't
get
both
sides
to
agree,
they
can't
agree
on
anything,
and
you
got
to
tell
me
this
something.
There
has
to
be
some
commonality
where
they
can
agree
on.
E
I
think
infrastructure
might
be
one
that
could
agree
on,
but
what
they're
doing
is
honestly
they're
impacting
us
in
so
many
different
ways.
So
here
in
Boston,
and
the
reason
why
I
mentioned
earlier
is
that,
with
28
percent
immigrants
that
live
in
our
city,
we
are
a
city,
that's
open
to
immigrants,
we're
a
city,
that's
open
to
people
of
color
or
a
city
that's
open
to
to
to
moving
forward.
We
have
work
to
do
don't
get
me
wrong.
E
F
Did
I've
known
the
mayor
for
quite
some
time
he
was
a
state
rep
I
was
a
legislative
aide
and
knew
what
he
was
about
and
who
he
was
so
I
expected
that
I
I
have
to
say
that
I'm
I'm
impressed
with
the
relationship
that
the
mayor
and
the
governor
have
I'm
a
Democrat
and
a
Republican
administration,
so
I
thought
for
sure.
After
a
meeting
at
2:00
that
somebody
would
be
giving
me
and
orientation.
You
know
Republican
101,
I've,.
B
F
A
lifetime
campaigning
against
Republicans,
and
yet
the
governor
asked
me
to
be
part
of
his
administration
and
what
I
seen
the
governor
and
mayor
what
I
see
in
you
all
the
time
is
that
it's
not
bad.
Politics
is
about
good
public
policy
and
the
both
of
you
have
come
together,
supporting
an
agenda
which
is
about
the
people
that
you
both
are
present
and
Brian.
It
really
does
then
feed
down
to
everybody
else,
and
so
the
relationship
that
our
team
has.
D
You
know
I
use
you
guys
all
the
time
when
I
do
our
update
for
our
board
in
New
York
City
on
we
we're
in
New
York,
San,
Francisco
DC
in
LA
and
report
about
the
absorption
we
have
on
leasing
the
new
companies
coming
to
Boston
and
then
I'll
report
in
a
relationship
that
mayor
you
have
it
with
the
state
and
each
one
of
the
other
cities
is
like
what
the
mayor
and
governor
speak.
Oh
yeah,
you
got
to
try
it
out.
It's
something
out
of
courage:
yeah.
F
And
for
the
record
governor
Baker
is
supposed
to
be
sitting
right
here.
He
is
getting
ready
for
the
big
rivalry
tonight,
not
the
Yankees
Red
Sox.
It's
the
Republican
versus
Democratic
gubernatorial
debate
number
one,
so
he
will
be
there.
Otherwise
he'd
be
sitting
here
and
maybe
I'd
be
standing
over
there.
But
the
fact
the
matter
is
that
there
is
something
special
happening
here
and
for
those
of
you
who
haven't
experienced.
It
know
that
if
you
could
get
to
that
place,
the
possibilities
are
endless.
D
Let's
talk
about
G,
so
G
was
you
had
already
had
many
different
wins
together
effectively,
but
GE
really
broke
it
wide,
open
and
you've
since
actually
taken
some
criticism
both
at
the
state
and
this
city.
Maybe
you
can
talk
about
that,
but
from
the
business
community,
I
can
attest
that
it's
just
everything
changed
everything
changed.
Every
boardroom
was
talking
about.
Boston
talent.
Do
we
need
to
be
there
and
the
amount
of
tours
just
went
through
the
roof
for
the
people
and
commercial
office
space
here,
and
it
hasn't
stopped,
as
you
guys
look
back
like
what?
D
E
I
think
we
were
all
in
the
same
room
talking
about
him
about
what
we
were
Boston
adds
to
a
company
churn
electric.
You
know.
Obviously,
when
general
Archer
came
to
Boston,
you
know
as
they
as
they
go
through
their
their
rise
and
I
wouldn't
say:
fall.
There
were
ups
and
downs.
The
local
press
covers
it.
Literally,
every
single
every
single
story.
E
We
crafted
a
deal
that
actually
was
beneficial
to
GE,
but
it
was
also
beneficial
to
the
state
in
the
city
that
if
they
expand
and
grow
here,
some
of
the
incentives
will
kick
in
we're
able
to
talk
them
about
the
workforce
development.
We're
able
to
talk
them
about
the
housing
plan.
On
the
city
side,
the
transportation
plan
on
the
on
the
state
side
really
sell
us
in
our
values
who
we
are
as
a
city.
You
know
in
Boston
Boston
over
the
last
five
years
really
has
I
think
approached
economic
development
in
a
different
way.
E
When
you
talk
about
having
a
plan,
I
think
yeah,
your
city
and
state
needs
to
have
a
plan,
and
we
this
between
the
stadia
in
the
state
I'm.
How
many
active
plans
are
out
there,
but
the
state's
planning
transportation,
we're
planning
infrastructure
in
the
city
of
Boston?
Are
other
cities
are
taking
the
model
we've
done,
having
having
an
open
dialogue
and
honest
open
dialogue
and
I.
Think
honestly,
I
mean
the
government
sitting.
Here
would
say
it
wasn't
the
governor
and
it
wasn't
myself.
It
was
the
people
that
work
with
us.
Every
single
day
was
Jay.
E
It
was
John
Burroughs,
it
was
Jays
team
was
John's
team
that
were
spending
the
time
trying
to
trying
to
move
this
deal
down
the
field,
I'm,
not
sure
what
was
in
the
final,
but
one
city
I
think
there
was
in
the
final,
not
too
far
from
me.
I
think
they
put
a
lot
on
the
table,
but
ultimately
it
came
down
to
to
Boston
Massachusetts
because
of
what
we
have
to
offer
as
a
city
in
the
political
climate,
it's
important
I
think
it's
so
important
today
to
have
a
strong
political
climate.
That's
a
good
climate.
E
D
You
know,
for
those
who
don't
know,
there's
two
administrations
I
could
attest
from
the
business
side.
Do
you
mention
John
Burroughs
your
economic
head,
and
when
you
talked
to
John
he
has
goals
something
novel
for
government
and
he
will
talk
to
you
about
it.
Here's
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
for
the
city,
it's
remarkable,
but
the
same
things
taking
place
on
the
state's
IJ,
let's
jump
to
transportation
and
a
segue
from
that.
So
we
get
into
some
urban
stuff
here.
D
Transportation
is,
of
course,
incredibly
important,
all
the
bigger
cities
that
especially
the
ones
that
are
having
economic
vitality.
Right
now,
we're
all
talking
about
transportation.
You
guys
came
in
and
you
inherited
quite
a
situation,
a
storm
hits,
and
suddenly
we
have
an
awareness
by
the
administration
that
we've
got
a
situation
there.
I
think
you
knew
at
first
hand,
but
talk
about.
We
had
train
schedules
on
chalkboards
and
everything
else.
You
had
to
bring
a
whole
new
knowledge
world
into
Snowmageddon,
Snowmageddon
we're
getting
yep.
That
was
a
tough
awakening,
but
transportation
is
incredibly
important.
D
You've
made
a
position
with
the
governor
that
it's
about
look,
let's
get
the
trains
working
first
and
on-time,
and
then
we
can
talk
about
growth.
The
the
flipside
mayor
that
you
could
come
out
on
next
is
for
you.
You've
talked
about
transportation
as
that
equalizer
for
job
opportunities,
so
you
want
to
get
transportation
to
as
many
people
as
possible.
Your
lieutenant
governor
wants
to
get
transportation
up
to
the
lulls
Lawrence's
and
new
Bedford's
talk
a
little
bit
about
transportation
and
what
you
guys
are
working
on
there
yeah.
F
As
you
all
know,
transportation
is
part
of
the
three-legged
stool,
the
economy,
with
housing
and
workforce
being
the
other
two.
When
Jean
came
here,
the
mayor's
right,
we
didn't
put
the
most
incentives
on
the
table,
but
what
we
had
to
offer
was
talent,
Massachusetts
and
specifically.
Greater
Boston
has
the
highest
level
of
talent
in
the
in
the
country,
and
so
when
GE
was
looking
at
where
it
needed
to
be
in
order
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
all
the
opportunities
that
exist
in
the
21st
century,
they
couldn't
imagine
being
anywhere
else
with
Boston.
F
If
I
was
the
governor,
the
governor
would
be
telling
his
joke
right
now.
The
governor's
joke
is
the
secret
to
the
Massachusetts
success
story.
Is
you
helped
to
establish
two
great
institutions?
He
was
talking
about
Harvard
and
MIT,
and
then
you
wait
200
years
fact
of
the
matter.
Is
that
those
to
institutions
in
BC
and
northeastern
and
bu,
and
so
many
others
have
come
together
and
are
just
producing
so
many
smart
people
as
we
say,
wicked
smaht
people
their
translations
are
available
by
the
way
in
the
back.
F
If
you
need
air
phones,
so
the
talent
is
number
one.
Transportation
is
obviously
an
important
issue
for
all
of
us.
The
great
news
here
in
Massachusetts.
We
have
more
people
working
today
than
ever
before,
more
people
working
today
at
ember
before
guess
what
that
causes
causes
traffic
causes
gems
at
our
public
transportation
spaces
and
a
governor
of
the
mayor
other
mayor's
around
the
state
recognize
that
and
a
working
collaboratively
to
deal
with
that
Brian
you're
right
part
of
the
strategy
is
to
fix
what
you
have
we
have.
F
F
A
while
it
really
so
part
of
it
is
fix
what
you
have,
but
you
know,
we've
also
found
money
for
expansion,
and
so
we
have
subway
expansion,
the
Green
Line
expansion,
that's
running
from
Boston
into
Cambridge
at
Somerville
and
we're
creating
a
new
commuter
rail
system
down
the
New
Bedford.
So
the
idea
is
that
we
saw
was
you
have
to
fix?
What's
broken,
you
can't
build
think
about
your
own
houses.
You
can't
make
improvements
on
to
a
bad
foundation,
and
so
we
needed
to
fix
that
foundation,
but
we've
also
found
ways
to
grow.
F
In
my
neighbor
and
Chelsea
I
grew
up
next
to
Boston
my
community
Chelsea
used
to
be
a
neighborhood
of
Boston.
There
was
just
a
bus,
rapid
transit
expansion.
The
Silver
Line
into
Chelsea
in
Chelsea,
arrived
at
both
South
Station
and
North
Station
from
the
same
location
in
Chelsea.
It's
really
remarkable
so
Brian.
We
know
the
transportation
needs
to
be
fixed.
Oftentimes
growth
doesn't
happen
where
the
train
stations
are
all
right,
so
Seaport
District
is
a
great
example
of
this.
F
Where
there's
been
a
tremendous
amount
of
growth
under
Mayor
Walsh
in
the
BPD
a
and
with
the
help
of
the
development
community
and
with
so
many
end
users,
we
need
to
now
meet
that
growth
with
better
transportation
options,
and
so
it's
great
to
have
a
partner
on
the
local
level
like
mayor,
Walsh
and
his
team,
so
that
we're
not
arguing
about
whose
responsibility
it
is.
Instead,
we
agree
that
it's
a
joint
responsibility
to
first
plan
and
then
work
that
plan
and
we're
doing
that
right
now.
Yeah.
D
So
for
those
in
the
room,
I'm
originally
from
Texas,
were
the
neighborhood's
that
Jay
talked
about.
They
didn't
grow
up
in
Boston,
but
in
another
city
it
would
be
Boston
because
the
geographical
limits,
the
cities
are
much
different
than
the
city
of
Boston,
so
the
cooperation
level
has
to
be
at
different
levels.
To
make
that
happen,
one
of
the
things
mayor
that
I
think
has
been
so
great.
You've
had
a
lot
of
prosperity
in
Boston,
but
you've
you,
you
haven't
done
it,
where
you're
trying
to
compete
with
Cambridge
and
with
Somerville,
etc.
E
We've
taken
a
regional
approach,
yeah
I'm,
Boston
and
before
I
became
the
mayor.
Vertex
pharmaceutical,
which
is
across
the
street,
came
to
Boston
and
it
was
a
great
win
for
the
city:
here's
when
they
left.
They
left
Cambridge
the
city
next
door
and
they
came
here
and
then
Partners
HealthCare,
which
was
in
Boston
left
here
and
went
with
Somerville
and
those
that
was
a
nice
one
for
Somerville
and
a
great
win
for
Boston
and
but
but
that
doesn't
grow
your
economy.
E
E
It's
just
like
anyone
in
this
room
when
you,
when
you're
building
a
building,
you're
thinking
about
all
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
and
when
I
gave
a
little
speech
here
today.
You
think
about
resiliency.
You
think
about
you
think
about
green
buildings.
You
think
about
amenities
for
the
people
in
the
building
you
think
about
where
it's
located
and
and
as
I
think
about
as
them
as
the
city.
When
we
think
about
planning
that
imagine
Boston
2030
plan.
E
Wasn't
a
plan
that
we
created
and
put
on
the
shelf,
it's
a
living
breathing
document
that
will
evolve
and
change
over
time,
so,
whether
it's
transportation
connections,
whether
it's
environmental
protections,
whether
it's
arts
and
cultural
protections,
all
the
different
aspects
of
the
plan,
it's
there
to
change
and
evolve
and
really
have
a
guide
to
move
our
city
forward
this
this
waterfront
it
was
under
the
idea
of
planning.
This
out
was
about
25
years
and
it
really
was
the
Moakley.
E
The
Como
pier,
which
is
right
across
was
the
first
thing
here:
the
world
trade,
the
hotel
across
the
Seaport
hotel
and
then
the
Moakley
courthouse
came
and
then
they
started
putting
in
buildings
and
what
we're
really
looking
at
is
planning
the
process
and
and
part
of
that.
There's
a
bridge
on
this
wall
here
to
the
to
your
left,
lower,
left,
the
north
northern
air
bridge.
That's
closed
right
now
and
it's
the
open
position
and
as
we
were,
building
up
the
waterfront,
we
built
the
Moakley
bridge,
but
no
one.
E
No
one
ever
took
time
to
think
about
that
bridge
and
that's
a
major
entry
in
exit
point
and
a
connection
to
the
South
Boston
waterfront
with
the
Rose
Kennedy
Greenway,
and
when
the
process
right
now
designing
a
new
bridge
there
and
thinking
about
what's
going
to
be
on
that
bridge.
But
the
point
is
we
have
to
be
planning
forward
because
it
opens
up
so
many
more
opportunities
and
so
many
other
possibilities.
E
We're
planning
out
the
the
industrial
side
of
the
park
right
now,
as
you
notice,
when
you
walk
out
the
front
door
to
the
right,
there's
not
a
lot
going
on
down.
There
was
a
little
actually
a
lot
going
in
it
down
there,
but
there's
another
almost
40
percent
of
land
mass
of
the
sub
awesome
waterfront,
that's
undeveloped!
Right
now,
so
we
could
be
plopping
buildings
left
and
right
down
there,
but
we're
looking
at
a
plan.
And
how
do
we
do
something
better?
That's
really
about
I!
Think
the
future
yeah.
F
I'm
just
gonna
the
mayor
is
selling
himself
short
on.
His
leadership
in
the
region
was
something
that
happened
last
week
that
I
took
particular
notice
of
and
I
want.
All
of
you
to
think
about
your
hometowns
and
the
mayors
of
lead.
Your
hometown.
Last
week
in
Massachusetts
and
Greater
Boston
15
communities
came
together
and
signed
a
historic
compact
attacking
the
affordable
housing
crisis
that
we
have
here
in
Greater,
Boston
15
communities
came
together,
signing
a
compact
to
create
135,000
new
housing
units
by
2030
in
Greater
Boston
area.
F
The
mayor
not
only
brought
those
people
together,
not
only
helped
to
form
that
compact,
but
this
mayor,
the
mayor,
the
capital
city
allowed
for
the
ceremony
for
this
historic
compact
to
being
one
of
the
neighboring
communities.
Mayor
I,
don't
know
many
mayors
of
big
cities
that
would
have
put
their
own
self
aside,
their
own
ego
side
to
allow
for
other
communities
to
experience.
D
Know
one
of
the
paradoxes
of
what's
taking
place
to
get
cities
like
San,
Francisco,
Seattle
and
and
Boston
through
your
focus
mayor
and
Jay
through
the
state
on
affordable
housing.
You
got
all
this
prosperity,
but
on
the
other
side
we
don't
have
affordable
housing.
It's
a
tough
situation
for
we've
got
a
lot
of
developers
in
the
room,
any
suggestions
that
you've
got
right
now
for
how
we
can
get
more
affordable
housing
and.
F
No
baby
bill
dolls
build
baby
build
is
the
message
so
again
mayor's
set
a
goal
for
Boston
and
with
those
14
other
leaders
set
a
goal
for
Greater
Boston.
The
governor's
set
a
goal
of
125,000
units
by
2025.
They
overlap
a
little
bit.
We
have,
of
course,
a
larger
geographical
jurisdiction
to
worry
about,
but
we're
marshalling
our
resources.
In
together,
the
mayor
and
the
governor
have
been
able
to
tap
into
state
resources
with
the
city
providing
money
as
well.
F
E
And
what
makes
Boston
works
is
that
diversity
I've
said
a
couple
times,
I'm
going
to
continue
to
say
it.
It's
so
important
on
the
diversity
of
our
city,
to
keep
our
city
diverse
and
to
keep
our
see
a
diverse
means,
creating
opportunities
for
housing
to
battle
income
inequality,
it's
about
creating
more
housing.
The
jobs
are
here,
creating
more
opportunities
for
employment.
It
truly
does
work,
and
it's
something
that
I
believe
in
in
my
soul
that
we
have
to
continue
to
move
forward
and
push
on,
and
you
know
we're
gonna
continue
to
push
affordable
housing.
E
We've
taken
our
land
Lots
that
we've
had
around
the
city
of
Boston.
What
I
think
we've
built:
800
single
and
duplex
family,
two
family
homes
in
the
city?
We're
looking
at
that
we're
looking
at?
How
do
we
create
more
transit
oriented
development?
How
do
we?
How
do
we
make
sure
the
inclusionary
development
policy
that
was
13%
affordable?
We
raised
it
to
18%
by
sitting
down
with
the
developers
like
you,
Brian
will
put
people
in
the
room,
understanding
that
it
doesn't
break
the
deal,
but
it
allows
opportunity
to
create
more
housing.
E
So
it's
those
funds
partnering
with
the
state
and
they
passed
the
historic
housing
bond
bill.
One
point:
eight
billion
dollars
this
year.
We
get
to
continue
to
work
on
those
partners
and
and
in
lieu
of
not
having
a
strong
federal
partner
and
I'm,
really
disappointed
because
we
don't
have
a
federal
partner.
You
know
that's
what
the
federal
government
should
be
doing:
housing
and
infrastructure,
but
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
them
as
a
partner.
E
D
Talk
about
another
area
that
you
took
a
stand
on,
you
took
a
stand
on
immigration
mayor,
but
you
also
took
a
stand
on
sustainability.
I
can't
help
reflect
when
you
were
a
candidate
for
mayor.
You
came
to
the
green
ribbon
council,
which
is
Boston,
has
a
council
that
was
put
together
by
Amos
Hostetter.
It's
been
a
remarkable
council.
Every
business.
Every
University
are
big
businesses,
small
businesses,
this
whole
diversified
group
talking
about
a
plan
that
we
could
recommend
to
leadership
on
sustainability
and
climate
resiliency.
You
came
to
that
council
and
I'll.
D
E
Have
to
I
mean
when
you
think
about
Boston,
we
had
the
hottest
winter
on
record
this
year.
In
2015,
we
had
one
point:
six
106
inches
of
snow
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
set
a
record.
What
we
have
you
know:
tomorrow's
gonna
be
80.
Last
night
was
50,
so
there's
something
going
on
here:
we've
had
floods
in
our
city
we
had
like
I
said
we
haven't
seen
what
New
York
has
experienced
or
used
to
know
Puerto
Rico,
but
that's
not
that
far
away
from
us
here
or
in
the
Carolinas
a
couple
weeks
ago.
E
So
we
are
thinking
about
and
we're
building.
You
know
billions
of
dollars
worth
of
development,
nine
billion
going
on
right
now,
this
year
alone.
So
we
are
thinking
about
how
do
we
protect
our
properties
in
the
city?
How
do
we
protect
our
residents
in
the
city?
You
know
making
that
upfront.
Investment
in
sustainability
today
will
save
us
billions
and
billions,
and
billions
of
dollars
of
disaster
relief.
E
You
know
we're
gonna,
be
carbon
neutral
by
2050
in
a
week,
I'm
I
have
a
speech
talk
about
sustainability
and
about
the
future
of
our
waterfront,
and
our
waterfront
is
not
just
here
in
downtown
waterfront,
centaur
neighborhoods
right
now
in
Boston,
at
the
four
point
channel,
which
is
to
the
left,
to
the
left
of
this
building
and
and
and
in
the
Atlantic
Ocean.
If
we
had
a
superstorm,
they
connect
at
Moakley,
parkansas
Boston
and
what
they
did
flood
out,
tens
of
thousands
of
horrible
neighborhoods
and
businesses
and
that's
not
downtown.
E
That's
in
the
card
of
our
neighborhood.
So
we're
looking
at
ways
of
how
do
we
create
opportunities?
And
again
it's
a
plan
that
plan
will
have
to
be
paid
for
by
the
state
investment
city,
investment,
federal
government
investment,
eventually,
some
philanthropic
investment,
as
well
as
as
the
development
investments.
D
Yeah
I'd
encouraged
for
the
urban
planners
in
a
room
to
really
take
a
look
at
at
the
plan
that
the
city
has
you
took
a
time
on
it.
You
brought
people
to
the
table
all
the
neighborhoods,
but
it's
really
paid
off
because
now
everybody's
in
and
it
also
sets
expectation
developers,
love
to
no
predictability
about
what
a
political
leader
or
administration's
thinking
you've
set
that
out
there,
which
is
just
so
helpful.
D
Well,
we
got
a
closing
minute
here
so
right
now,
it
seems
as
though
you're
getting
a
lot
of
attention
because
of
this
bipartisan
relationship.
That
may
be
the
only
one
in
the
United
States.
That's
working
right
now,
and
certainly
getting
the
most
attention
for
you.
Any
suggestions
for
our
audience
here
for
their
what,
as
they
go
back
to
their
states
and
for
that
matter,
countries
I
I,.
F
Go
by
a
90/10
rule,
so
I'm
a
Democrat
and
Republican
administration,
I've
learned
a
lot
in
this
loss
for
you
as
being
in
a
Republican
administration
and
I've
created
this
90/10
rule
where
I
believe
that
10%
of
us
we're
never
gonna
convince
the
other
90%
we
can
get
to
work
together
and
with
that
90%
90%
of
us
believed
90%
of
the
same
things.
We
always
seem
to
fight
about
the
last
10%
and.
F
E
Agree
with
that
and
I
also
agree
with
to
to
agree
on
a
common
set
of
goals
and
move
forward
towards
those
goals
and
try
and
stay
in
your
areas
in
that
area.
If
you
can
go
beyond
you,
can
you
know
they
juggle
the
governor
myself?
I
mean
we
don't
agree
on
everything,
but
we
re
off
move
move,
move
things
forward
and
we
agree
on
more
than
we
disagree
on.
E
E
You
know
100,000
of
jobs,
50,000
new
people,
it's
wild
development
like
we've
never
had
before
companies
moving
in,
like
that's,
never
happened
before,
and
that
relationship
is
key
to
that
and
it's
important
to
have
a
good
partner,
not
just
the
two
people
at
the
top.
But
you
know
my
transportation
person
lines
up
with
the
secretary
transportation
in
the
state
side,
John
and
Jay,
and
you
go
right
down
the
list
DCR
and
parks.
It's
all
these
same
synergies.
You
know
we're
not
that
big
of
a
state
but
boss
Boston.
E
E
So
I
would
encourage
you
to
get
people
in
the
room
and
say
you
know,
put
aside
your
differences
and
focus
on
what's
important:
I
elected
I'm,
a
Democrat
I
didn't
get
elected
as
a
Democrat
I'm,
not
the
I'm,
not
the
democratic
representative
of
mayor
of
Boston
I'm,
the
mayor
of
Boston
I,
represent
all
the
people
that
live
in
my
city,
whether
the
Democrats
independents,
unenrolled
Green
Party,
or
what
have
you.
They
might
not
agree
me
on
my
social
platform
on
issues,
but
it
is
about
moving
the
city
forward.
Well,.
