Whatever happened to Fenway Corners?

This building will end up being maybe the most shocking and stupid application of the alternating windows trope after Harvard’s joke of a building on Western Ave. Someone save this stupid city.

This project is not very much different from one you might see in a place like Wayland.

Remember how they labeled this as TOD? lol

That’s because backwards American planning, building codes, and financial incentive structure pretty much require all multifamily building projects to be cheap and crappy popsicle stick buildings in oceans of parking, which is what we have here.

Still no metal fascia….

The true irony is that red states that supported Trump rely so heavily on federal grants that they would have Sierra Leone-level poverty without them. Half of Louisiana’s budget is just spending the Fed’s money!

lol internet tough guy here

I see these on parked cars in NY and I sometimes put a little piece of duct tape on their hood to teach them a lesson. (Can’t be taken off without wrecking the paint.)

All or almost all of these developments still have parking - just underground.

Slow down and you won’t have to worry about speed cameras.

The Dock Square project is so ridiculous. They're just adding a couple of apartments on top and covering the garage with perforated metal panels.

Speed cameras reduce speeding, reduce crashes, reduce injuries, and reduce fatalities. https://www.amny.com/news/locations-speed-cameras-in-nyc-dot-report/ You could take the revenue raised from the citations and burn it. Speed cameras would still be a blessing.

Driving isn’t a right, either. Driving is a privilege that can be revoked (and which should be revoked much more frequently).

It clearly isn’t a question of wealth when you consider the sticker prices some people are paying for these things. Look, New York churns out affordable units in high density areas without resorting to this kind of fast casual slapdash stuff (because again, it’s illegal). Here’s a new building...

This is the architectural connoisseur’s forum.

Endless dead streets of replaceable vinyl architecture doesn’t seem like a great way to build a city.

I mean the fact that every sleazy developer wants to use this kind of construction is proof positive that it is cheap. Wood chips, formaldehyde binders, fire retardant chemicals. Tape the whole thing together with cheap laborers and cover it in vinyl. The interiors can have onyx and brass so...
