Form follows dysfunction.
or as David might suggest: This owes nothing to nothing!
The Bronx developers are really trying their hardest to force the city to implement improved architecture standards.
I guess the idea of burying cables hasn’t made it yet to the Bronx..
Why couldn’t they spring for an awning?
The electric cables make everything look country. There’s no sense of being in an urban environment. It is also old-fashioned. When you’ve been on a block with the cables bent and have to be realigned it lets you know how dangerous the situation can be. I don’t see why they can’t do something underground. When you go into suburban neighborhoods and other regions you don’t see them. Perhaps they are higher up than the ones we see here. When I first saw this I said this can’t be the Bronx. The Bronx is striving for an urban look.
