I had occasion to visit the seaport district of Boston this afternoon for a business related meeting. I was amazed and concerned by the amount of new office development underway. Hard to imagine, in light of rising ocean levels, why you would move forward with new construction on oceanfront property that looks to be about 3 feet above the high tide mark. Equally concerning is that Seaport office development now outpaces housing development by 8:1 which means that all of the people working in those buildings will be coming in from elsewhere adding to what is an already ridiculous commute into Boston. So much for good urban planning.

Jeanine and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner with Beth and Victor Duvanenko, good friends from Indianapolis who were passing through on their way to Maine. Victor and I worked together at Truevision back in the day and it was fun to catch up with them.
