Ugh. This city just repulses me. Any pleasant, classic architecture the city's developers can raze, will be razed.

I cringe every time I see any development in the 20s or 30s. Those blocks - whether the Garment District on the West Side or NoMad more centrally - are among the best-preserved swaths of Old New York we have.

And they're now being sh*t upon as part of the city's most aggressive spate of development, most of it going to cheap hotels that are among the worst "architecture" in the developed world.

If Curbed and others had any balls they'd be writing about what a crime this trend is; instead they are preoccupied with crap like using some people's taxes to subsidize others' apartments.
