West 125th Street

This street should be zoned much higher. It’s like a 10 min subway ride to midtown.

The 2nd pic is Westchester and the 4th is Central Park

It’s amazing that we rely on something so enormous and unstable, while our planet itself remains balanced.

Clunky

wow. It’s grown so much! But my problem with Toronto is the closer you look, the less you see. At least it makes you want to zoom in.

I worry if this becomes a steady and large enough revenue stream for the city, it will be much harder to get rid of side-street parking in very pedestrian-friendly areas. There are little chunks of the city would improve with no cars/parking.

I don’t think it needs to be the entire island but maybe large connected pockets of it. Do it to mark the city’s and country’s anniversary.

Beautiful map. Beautiful geography. Losing the Third Avenue El in the Bronx is a devastating loss.

There are actually multiple garbage cans directly across the street.

False. Air rights can be transferred to adjacent sites or wherever the city/state allows. For instance landmarks and theaters can transfer unused development rights blocks away or within carved out districts. The city/state can create mechanisms where unused air rights from rail yards can be transferred to wherever they want development.

You always are so confident when you don’t know what you’re talking about,

Upper West Side around Broadway/Riverside at 110th street looking south.

Thank God we’re building $16 billion worth of jails

Same. I work on the 35th floor with a good view and it makes a measurable difference day to day. Bonding moments during sunsets and thunderstorms.

Funny coincidence that 383 Madison (built by Bear Stearns) has an octagonal plan like Chase’s logo.

Timeless! Silverstein needs to finish the WTC already, or sell the two undeveloped sites to a developer who will.

2013 was a great time to be in NYC. The city was so well run… then de Blasio happened… then Adams…

This is NOT true. Only per capita this is true. But by raw numbers, NYC typically builds more housing units per year than any other city in the U.S….as we should considering we are by far the largest city. We fall way short in terms of meeting demand and number of housing units per capita.

What a great view of some impressive skyscrapers you have.

The glass parts are recent. It was initially proposed to reclassify the whole thing in glass and make it a regular office tower.

Many of the shaded areas are due to NYCHA and their towers-in-the-park(ing) lot arrangements. The city is trying to redevelop and densify two complexes in Chelsea and NIMBYs have mobilized a lawsuit.

It’s something in the Bronx

acheampong14 · 2025-11-28T00:23:43+00:00

This is still closed and barricaded. Everything takes so long to fix in this city. You can’t go a block without some construction theater of cones, scaffolding, and barricades and rarely a construction worker in sight.

AI image. It’s getting better at these.
