Strong disagree, I liked all of the other options whereas this one I actively disliked. The Empty Pulpit and Ripple Effects especially would have been cool.

Sounds like you need to read the lease you signed online. If you agreed to pay this “broker fee”, well then that’s on you.

Will they be leasing a building that also costs 25 cents a brick?

Replace your thermostat with a nest or something. If nothing else turning down the heat when you aren’t home will save you enough to pay for it

Also my house is about twice as old as yours. I think you are renting but if not get some spray foam in the rafters

They did not ask the public to vote on it. The committee had a Google Form where people could offer their input but this was not a vote and the questions weren't "which option do you like best" but instead "Which of the five MLK Boston design proposals do you believe best reflects the Kings' legacy? Why?" and "Which proposal most effectively addresses current social issues, and is also likely to remain relevant over time?"

GE stock has dropped like 90% from it's high, so I don't think the company is doing well. I'm sure LEGO is doing fine though.

We are not, it’s a very old home with settled blown in on the first and no insulation in the attic rafters. We keep it at 68 day/night

In the original picture the happy expressions on their faces are more striking than the embrace, which loses so much context just being arms and hands. They abstracted it too much, artists can do that.

👏bravo, and the other half is probably made by simple implicit racism

I walk along Tremont almost daily so that angle is really the only one I ever see.

Just found it. So they wanted to do the whole bay, with gated sea walls. Look I know you believe it would be gross but this has been done before. The Dutch seriously do this all the time. We're kind of at the point where if we don't we'll be almost assured the yuppie folks in South Boston waterfront will be taking water taxis to work.

The little ducklings will still be the most popular public art in town.

I am totally here for the snark, and possibly chaos.

I don’t care per se. Just don’t think this was the best use of funds, though agree everyone has the right to what they want with their money.

I'm not disagreeing that we need to address climate change and prepare. I'm just saying this guy who thinks Boston will be gone in 30-50 years is off his rocker.

Call ISD everyday until you get an inspector out there. And tell your landlord that you're doing this

Sick of this meme. It’s art. Not everyone is gonna love it.

The HQ employees must be shitting brick once they realize the CoL in Boston…

Will this go as well as the GE HQ move did for them?

This and the Jones Act or some of the most harmful regulations the USA has

I don’t think my opinion on how much it costs actually matters. My knowledge on how much money was spent on this and how much profit was made and who got paid is zero.

Do you think it’s worth 10 million dollars?

> bet it grows on people with time.

Agreed. Hard to think of it now but when it was first designed the Washington Vietnam Veterans Memorial was initially met with fury and criticism that it was ugly. Eventually it was accepted and even celebrated.

Cool. I mean, some rich douchebags decided to waste $10M of their money into building this monstrosity, why do you care? If anything, all the online snark has been worth it.

Lol. Lmao even

Not in favor, stepping on LEGO bricks hurts.
