The latter part of your statement got me to thinking just now...
Where is this perceived hue and cry from affordable housing advocates
precisely for f*ing boxes coming from?? And, BTW, not just the kind of Frankenboxes that Larry wants put up on the West Side. I'm certainly talking about the kind we're debating here that look like headless Pez dispensers wrapped in slightly crinkled alumin(i)um foil?.
Is this noise coming from the actual affording housing advocated aforementioned? Now, I don't wanna start conflating the idea of living within one's comparatively austere means (i.e. as opposed to 57th) with architectural timidity; but I have been goaded into wondering..........
