What are the chances?

Finally. The design is in, and The Hole could finally be filled. Real, urban scale. Solid design. A chance to inject a little vitality into a struggling downtown location.

But this is Boston. The land of NIMBYs and people who view density and height not as benefits that contribute to a vibrant city, but giveaways to evil developers. What are the chances that this building, of appropriate size and scale, gets built instead of getting chopped to the 400 feet of boxiness that we're used to downtown? If you look at the comments, not good.
