Again we are lucky for and grateful to those that fought to keep these low rise buildings instead of UES towers. We will have to wait 99 years to see what goes on that block next.

Between this and the monstrosity going up on 11th and A, it'll probably take me longer to get to work. As it is, there are days when 2 Avenue D buses go by 14th and A so crammed to capacity they don't even slow down for the 40-50 people waiting on line.Gojiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-69031969464040460002014-04-24T14:04:06.760-04:002014-04-24T14:04:06.760-04:00@ anon 1:31, there are no towers going up because ...@ anon 1:31, there are no towers going up because of recent zoning laws, which were the result of neighborhood activism. <br /><br />Also, rentals are hot in the real estate world right now vs condos, but condos could mean owners who might become more invested in the neighborhood. Rentals, unless rent stabilized, will probably mean short lease, less stable residents with no long term interest in the neighborhood. Gradually leading to less activism and a decreasing chance of getting additional appropriate zoning laws through.

I know we lost a good dive bar... but this is still better than demolishing landmark worthy buildings for the sake of a profit. I assume the apartments will be rentals and not condos with the usual token "affordable" housing. The look is not Soviet block housing and there is an attempt to mirror StyTown across the street. Did anyone really think that strip of one story buildings would be there forever?
