By Pho Kew Go To PostI think I hate nimbys more than billionairesThey are the same; one just has infinitely more money than the other.
By i can get you a toe Go To Postthen don't ilve in a metroDamn right I wouldn't. Would be out in Ohio or Montana is it was up for me. Somewhere Northern Italy is also a great shout.
The proposal from a subsidiary of the Italian firm ASTM Group calls for the construction of a rectangular glass station around Madison Square Garden. The Garden would be covered in aluminum and steel, and two new light-filled train halls would replace the notoriously cramped and dark station — all of which could be completed by 2030, the firm has said.
With the initial plan all but dead and developers now scrambling to fill the void, key legislators and civic leaders say the ASTM proposal is one they are now seriously considering.
The plan has piqued their interest for a variety of reasons. It has the advantage of not being tied to revenue from the flagging office tower market. It does not require the total demolition or relocation of Madison Square Garden. It is being pitched by prominent people in infrastructure and government, and it involves design work by the architecture firm that codesigned La Guardia Airport’s widely lauded Terminal B.
New proposal for Penn Station.
I still say demolish MSG. That thing is an eyesore.
If you want to read how fucking ridiculous MSG's existence is and how awful it was that it ruined and keeps ruining Penn Station, read this: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/03/13/the-fight-over-penn-station-and-madison-square-garden
I imagine @PB will seethe at some of the ridiculous politics
Penn Station and especially the Port Authority looked ghastly last time I went to NYC.
They've done a lot of work (with even more to come) on our equivalent here called Union Station, but the way finding and directions are terrible. If you're an out of towner or unfamiliar with how to orient yourself in there, gg. The actual design is pretty nice and modern.

For some time, the stretch of West 11th Street between 4th and Bleecker in Greenwich Village has been a magnet for the superrich. Homes on the “power block” — where Sarah Jessica Parker, Liv Tyler, Rupert Murdoch, and assorted billionaires have owned townhouses — sell for upwards of $30 million. But until recently, it still had a smattering of rental buildings for the merely wealthy: junior bankers and lesser trust funders whose budget hewed closer to $10,000 a month for a two-bedroom. With the recent sales of two multifamily properties, that will soon change.
Back in the early aughts, houses on the block traded for less than $5 million. Things started to shift in the early 2010s. Global wealth was pouring into Manhattan real estate, and people began buying up townhouses to renovate into massive Frankenhouses. Several chose this length of West 11th — pretty, conveniently located, strewn with extra-wide townhouses, and out of the way of Carrie Bradshaw’s tourist trap of a brownstone one block over — for their gigantic new homes. In 2014 and 2015, Chipotle founder Steve Ells bought two townhouses on the corner of West 4th and combined them into a 16,000-square foot complex. In 2016, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick paid $34.5 million for two adjoining townhouses mid-block that had belonged to a Methodist nonprofit since the 1920s. The next year, Softbank CEO Marcelo Claure dropped $27.4 million on a 8,500-square-foot “mansion in the making” at 269 West 11th — a three-family home sold with plans by Annabelle Selldorf to turn it into a 10,000-square-foot single-family mansion.

This is insane. The level of wealth disparities in cities is truly mind-blowing.
Had no idea Greenwich Village is balling like that.

Lol, similar story in Toronto. We’ve all got shoebox apartments unless you’re spending crazy amounts.
I had a friend remove his window in a 4th floor apartment because they couldn't get anything up the stairs.

The B1M have a new video about Habitat 67 and how Epic, Neoscape and the original architect recreated the entire project and how it would have looked had it been fully funded and built

I was watching this video from Jay Cutler where he was looking at a new house. and I follow some apartment/real estate agents on tik tok just for fun.
...these minimal ass black/white/gray houses gotta be going out of style soon, right? it's just EVERYWHERE. And it doesn't seem like a gen x/boomer thing because a lot of big time streamers setups look like that too.
this is the video if anyone wants to watch

Sprawling ranches or split levels with huge windows.
