What a looker…
Why does affordable housing have to be so horrid? This is depressing. The architect should sue his grad school for malpractice.
Bad architects with no imagination. Seems counterintuitive like a violinist that can’t play anything pleasing to the ear, but they are everywhere.
It doesn’t have to be but the budgets are typically smaller. There are good architects with enough experience to know how to leverage the money available in a way that produces high quality buildings.
The old house on the corner with the storefront facing the tracks was pretty beat up but had loads of character. This has neither looks or character and the setback from 44th is nonsensical…and while were on the subject how are these ground floor units like that even allowed? Who would want to live in those?
