Are the developers trolling us? Why would they name a building The Cornice and then not put a cornice on it? Like The Emperor’s New Clothes, are we to believe that there’s one there just because they say so? A perfect metaphor for our current times
The Cornice with no cornice. That’s meta. Are people still saying meta. Oh well, I am.
and if you want to use the amenities that will add to your so called affordable rent
As well it should, imo
Great look in a good location
