A walk by University Place and 12th Street... developer Billy Macklowe's 23-floor retail-residential complex has really charged upwards since the last look in June.

Oh, that's so much better. The city and people will truly benefit from that isolated green space too.
ReplyDeleteNeighborhood destroyed. Really bad design. This is why be have cities like Akron. Set-backs don't really work in the city. The Lever House is the only exception.
ReplyDeleteBack in the day, you'd go to Danceteria, the an all-night cheap diner at Kiev, then bowl a few rounds. All affordable. Not anymore.
ReplyDeleteThis: a set-back piece of corporate crap. And De Blasio continues to cash in, with no one running for mayor against him since he bought out the opposition.
Oh, and if re-elected, it will only get worse.
Akron? Downtown Akron is more interesting looking than the East Village/Union Square area.
