It saddens me every time I drive or walk towards it, especially from the south. It's urban blight, development run amok.

He should go to Williamsburg. They'd find out the difference between Carroll/Cobble/Boerum Hill and Williamsburg is night and day.<br /><br />It's also tedious at this point to keep harping on about people moving into this area. Newsflash, people desire to live in desirable neighborhoods. NYC is a fluid place. Neighborhoods are constantly changing. It doesn't get more NY than that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-125823138789818252011-04-26T18:31:37.473-04:002011-04-26T18:31:37.473-04:00You can see by the heavily skewed clapboard townho...You can see by the heavily skewed clapboard townhouse on the right that the rendering was heavily manipulated in Photoshop.

My father was an architectural illustrator for years, and his clients were always asking him to do ridiculous things, like making the building seem shorter because they were pushing zoning, or plazas look bigger to attract buyers. He just did it because they wrote the checks.<br /><br />A very unscrupulous bunch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-71043776223148510342011-04-26T12:00:29.419-04:002011-04-26T12:00:29.419-04:00The only way that 360 Smith would have had the lar...The only way that 360 Smith would have had the large front plaza as depicted on the rendering is if it had been built on the site of the Hannah Senesh school.
