In the wake of the apparent collapse of FoxRock’s third plan for a health science office building of some sort or another anywhere in Quincy Center, Chelsea has leaped ahead of Quincy with its landing of a 220,750 square foot life science office building.
Chelsea!?!?!?
In any event, Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch has long been striving to see biotech operations come to Quincy, including spending never duly disclosed amounts of taxpayer-funded money so as to encourage biotech to come to the Q; however, he has yet to score any consequential biotech presence in Quincy as to date his efforts have foundered.

Then again, Chelsea is within no more than a couple of miles away from the considerable biotech presence in Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville as well as also readily accessible by researchers tied to Harvard University and MIT.
Further, this Chelsea biotech facility will be a short drive away from gambling and/or catching Vegas lounge acts at the Encore Casino in nearby Everett as well as an exciting two mile drive on Route 1 to hit the Kowloon Restaurant for some after hours team building.

By the time Quincy gets its act together, it will miss this opportunity! This is way the City acting as Master Developer is a flawed model. Focus in your expertise. Development is not a strong skill of Mayor Koch…
But there are APARTMENTS! And more apartments, and more apartments, and more apartments and . . . and traffic, and more traffic, and more traffic . . . and taxes, and more taxes and even more and higher taxes. City planning a la Koch.

Mayor Koch keeps spending money like there is an endless supply but it is ours not his but when he needs he will just raise taxes again and again.
With all the tax money he should buy some more parking spaces. I’m putting my house up for sale — it costs too much to live here and I’ve had it
