Quincy Hunt Street 9 still standing

Quincy’s Hunt Street 9 houses are still standing and the Quincy Quarry has Citizen Journalist videos to prove it.

As such, embattled incumbent Mayor Thomas P. Koch’s expensive North Quincy Hall parking lot and stadium project has yet to commence demolition of the houses mostly on Hunt Street, along with a couple of parcels with but sheds on them which are technically located on nearby Newbury Avenue.

At most, the already long owned by the city Teel Field has been covered with dirt to begin the process of “surcharging” water out of the underlying subsoil.

Ever anxious, especially as the project is currently on the order of 9 months behind schedule as per the Koch Maladministration usual, at least the Koch Maladministration awarded the demolition contract two months ago to demolish all of houses as well as announced that it planned to commence their demolition last May.

So what, apparently, for the fact that though the city had not yet then bought the last property sought on Hunt Street in spite of the fact that this property’s owner agreed to sell a month earlier yet.

Additionally, while this long pending sale has apparently since finally closed, it now appears that an estimated 15% of property needed for this the somewhere north of $10 million parking lot and high school sports stadium complex boondoggle has not yet been acquired by the city in spite of previous representations that it had done so – or at least soon would do so as well as by this point.

An ill-advised Facebook posting by Koch spokesmodel Backwalker

Quincy Quarry considered reaching out to Koch Maladministration spokesmodel Chris “Pinnochio” Walkbacker for comment until it remembered that he was the primary source of much of the previous and now obvious misinformation and thus did not bother contacting him.
On the other hand, it is only fair to note that it would appear that – in an apparently unprecedented Koch Maladministration accomplishment – the purported eventual purchase of the property will (supposedly, ed.) be at a price greatly trimmed from what others have already been paid for their properties.

At the same time, the owner of the remaining property on Newbury Avenue that the city is not planning to buy is currently proposed as the site of a new 18 unit four story condominium project in what is presently a quiet residential neighborhood block overwhelming featuring mostly two story single family homes and some two story two family detached housing.

Surely, however, the proposed Newbury Avenue condo project and apparently reduced purchase price to the city for the apparently surplus Newbury Avenue property currently connected to proposed condo site are but a coincidence.
