The grand opening of Olmsted Place marks the addition of luxury units to a housing market that so desperately needs them. One cannot open up a newspaper without reading the cries of people bemoaning the dearth in the city of upscale living spaces with amenities such as a swimming pool.
Some people might argue that we cannot build our way out of the housing crisis, especially by constructing luxury-unit building after luxury-unit building. Fools. Those people are simply NIMBYs who don’t realize we need to start bulldozing low- and moderate-income housing and replacing it with glitz and glamour of a Trump Tower.
Olmsted Place is the first step in S. Huntington Avenue becoming the fancy, expensive and soulless area that is Boylston Street and Brookline Avenue in Fenway.

If Olmsted Place rentals fill up quickly, then it IS a sign that the market "desperately needs them". Please don't be so quick to judge the new neighbors moving in - it may surprise you that they actually have souls too.
