Much better than the old Plumbing supply house and Metropolitan Lumber
Indeed much better then the prior existing.
But
why not build taller (meaning why doesn’t zoning allow it)?
at least to the height of the west neighbor setback.
clearly the far west side needs to be up zoned and allow residential as of right.
who is stopping it?
Why only 7 stories in midtown?
Who is stopping it..well for starters anyone who keeps calling Clinton, Hell’s Kitchen. The term Hell’s Kitchen was dying off until residents there saw all the new growth spreading over from the packed neighborhoods that surround it. Now they oppose any zoning change or special exception which they view as encroachment and as a part of that have gone back to insist on calling the neighborhood its’ formerly infamous moniker, Hell’s Kitchen.
It’s said with a sense of honesty, pride, and resignation, I live over the Deli on 45th st and 10th ave..all nite long I’m forced to listen to almost non-stop shouting, screaming, cursing, and singing off key ( for starters )..It still is very much “Hell’s Kitchen”
