More LIC than Astoria right?
Not totally Astoria more like Dutch Kills but heck who wants to live in a place with Kills in the name, not me, yesseree Bob, not me but let us get to the important part of this entire yimby-ish situation, the design, yes the design is so important in any conversation involving Astoria/DutchKills/whatnot because design drives our happiness and happiness drives our lives whether lowly or highfalutin but I don’t see any design or renderings here so I wonder what 135 foot tall structure will replace this eminently architecturally stable structure that is here in an existing and even a pre-existing state of repair or disrepair but can’t really tell due to the lack of photography but hopefully easy to demolish if that is the intention rather than building on top for that eco-centric constructive reuse meme that seems to get triggered every so often in the architectural, structural and building trades world that people seem to go goo-goo-ga-ga over which is very often debatable but we can leave the debate for another discussion perhaps after we see some renderings that properly render and stability or instability in an architectural sense, maybe some parking would be good although there is good train access but I’m just waiting around here to hear other commenter views on what is actually happening on this NYC block and lot because I’m sure that many readers, and even people who cannot read would be very happy to live in these 681 square foot apartments in at least semi-prime area and with proper architectural stability with almost zero fear of catastrophic collape.
This is the longest run-on sentence I’ve read since James Joyce. Congratulations.
I appreciate the favorable comparison to James Joyce as I have tried my best to be concise ever since my high school teacher implored his students to keep it simple and keep one thought/idea per paragraph and it is even better if you can state that thought/idea in just one sentence which was quite prescient since when I was in high school here in NY,NY there was no email or textual messages (for those with fancy smart phones) and as you know that when you send an email or a textual message, regardless of importance, most people – especially higher-ups but also subservient people don’t read past the first sentence so that is where I like to keep my important information, once again thanks for the compliment and comparison to a typewriter warrior of the past.
