The cheap vinyl siding look never gets old. Unfortunately.

I have a feeling that come 2035 we're going to look back at a lot of the recent residential developments in this city and shake our heads at how poorly they've held up and how awful the exterior of these buildings will look.

It will look 1000 times better than a run down 3 decker...like anything, regular maintenance is required.
Am I the only one who actually likes triple deckers?
No. You are not. They were (and remain today) a brilliant housing type.

Triple deckers were a new england specific housing style that allowed the working class to move up. Your parents buy the house, your family lives on the first floor and rent out the next two, one of them paying your rent on the building, the second paying you an income for the month. They worked out extremely well until recently where it has become where a slum lord owns the building and 300 college students/"working professionals"...etc. cram into every room in the house. There needs to be a new answer for the 21st century, hopefully out of necessity someone figures it out.

They were the affordable/middle class housing of 100 years ago. That contrasts to the super ugly affordable housing from 50 years ago.

Someday the drunken weekend of staggered windows will end.
But the damage is already done.
