Its great to see the new housing but I wish there was much more brick and less party panels.
Jersey cityis throwing up 5 over 1s all over the place, but they fit in with the existing neighborhood much better than these off grey rentals do.
2 examples of random 5 over 1s going up in hoboken and jersey city
You could build entire neighborhoods from scratch for very cheap out of 5 over 1’s and they could be completely normal desirable neighborhoods if they just used some nice materials and had ground floor retail or lots of ground level entrances to rentals.
Compare that to the shitty materials, atrocious ground level, and single point entrance below and the streets are going to be barren hellscapes.
All of these are the same 5 over 1 style construction, just with a massive difference in effort or give a shit level. Chelsea could just as easily be building a vibrant new neighborhood with walkable streets for not much more effort. Isnt this what everybody loves? Why are we building suburban style buildings in the city?
