We estimate that workers have reached the 12th floor... so they are halfway there...

Glad to see city planning officials working to keep new construction to appropriate scale in context of our neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteThere's no room on the M14 bus at Ave C. The L train stop nearby is packed.
ReplyDeleteHow do we handle twenty-four floors' more people?
Becky & Bro from the 24 story building won’t be taking the bus
DeleteIt is far too "high density" for the EV where the population already feels untenable- leaving my apt daily feels like a blood sport as though i were in times square. I dread going out now.
ReplyDeleteYes, there comes a point where cramming more people into every block creates lower quality of life.
DeleteNeighbor here -- they start work at 7 am and work six days a week. I am resigned to it (no other choice) and just wonder if anything will grow in our backyard next year once the full shadow is in place. Campos residents will be shadowed as well. I hope they get the money they were promised.
ReplyDeleteThis totally will block the view of the Con Ed plant. Shame….
ReplyDeleteThis is kitty-corner from Stuy Town and close to the PJs and the power plant. What is the scale issue here?
ReplyDeleteThe scale issue -- adjacent to nine five-story old law tenement buildings and will block light and air from the airshafts and back windows as well as many Campos Plaza apartments; other new buildings in the area, between Avenues A and B, are seven stories and fit in visually; and this building has been situated on its lot set back from 14th Street and Avenue C in a way that increases its impact on neighboring buildings. FYI Stuy Town is 11 stories. It troubles me that the public discourse by proponents ignores the negative impacts rather than trying to mitigate them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anonymous. You hit it on the head-proponents insist on justifying their actions, and seem unaware that neighborhood concerns even exist. Yuck.
DeleteBring back Strauss Auto. I don’t own a car, but that was my go-to for touch-up paint, degreasers, and GoJo hand cleaner.
ReplyDeleteI could tell taxi drivers I was by Straus Auto Parts and they all knew where to take me!
DeleteIf the height of this building bothers the residents of the shorter buildings terribly…I recommend the east village approach of sunbathing in the nude on your roof in full view of the future penthouse dwellers. Con ed plant on one side, impromptu, ungraceful nude beach on the other. Welcome to New York.
ReplyDeleteI used to live opposite in STown - desolation
