  1. Why is the Greenway being cluttered with half-buried houses, a beer garden (across from the Boston harbor Hotel, and an :optical illusion” construction between North and Hanover Street. This green patch is the most used of any section of the Greenway except for the fountains and should have been left alone. Parents use it to dry off their children who are frolicking in the water jets; children play soccer and other games.; and people use it lie down and relax.
    I hope the Commonwealth takes away their subsidy if this is how they are going to use the money. Remember the “fish nets” that they strung between the buildings. Did we ever find out how muchmoney was wasted on this.
