There are plenty of places to build within the five boroughs without having to make a historic block look like some imbecile with too much money crapped all over it. As for my borough of Queens, there too many one-family homes that are three stories with 116 columns and ugly as shit statues all over it. I mean, have some restraint.

We need more goddamn housing. We're all rent burdened as fuck and adding more barriers to getting more housing built is only going to exacerbate an already dire problem. Landmarks are one thing, but throwing up even more barriers to developing non-landmarked properties is not the way.

I hate that a lot of new buildings are ugly as much as the next person, but I hate how much my monthly rent is even more.
