Why? Working in Boston vs some random suburb would be huge for recruiting.

I get that this sub is mostly just unhappy people complaining but another way of looking at it is that Boston is so great that people are willing to pay a heavy premium to live here.

EDIT: To be clear, I don't mean that you should be happy about things costing more just that it means the opposite of what you seem to think it means. People pay more to live in a desirable place.

I'm not really sure what point you are trying to make... If you are paying for art inside your house then no one else should have any say in it because that space is yours. If it is going to be in a public place then it should be something that the public approves of regardless of who is paying for it.

Paul English and other private donors funded it. It is not publicly funded.

The committee voted amongst themselves but there was never a public vote.

Strong disagree, I liked all of the other options whereas this one I actively disliked. The Empty Pulpit and Ripple Effects especially would have been cool.

They did not ask the public to vote on it. The committee had a Google Form where people could offer their input but this was not a vote and the questions weren't "which option do you like best" but instead "Which of the five MLK Boston design proposals do you believe best reflects the Kings' legacy? Why?" and "Which proposal most effectively addresses current social issues, and is also likely to remain relevant over time?"

I walk along Tremont almost daily so that angle is really the only one I ever see.
