Those are beautiful photos. Film is amazing.

I thought they were called Paving Blocks. Not so long ago they were seen all over NYC, and I imagine some still exist without cover. Some streets had intricate designs. The streets around the Manhattan side of the Queensborough Bridge had nice patterns(ask Simon and Garfunkel), and beneath the el on Jerome Ave. in the Bronx around the el pillars there was beautiful brickwork. Van Dam St. near the LIE was another well-known street paved with stones. Riding a bicycle on some of these streets would shake your dental fillings loose.

...what?

If my other reply wasn't proof enough here's a report from the World Health Organization that deals with the finding of polio virus in the UK, Ireland and the US https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2022-DON408

>The total number of homes in Scarsdale — about 5,750 in 2020, according to the Census Bureau — has barely changed since 1990.

We're taking Scarsdale build 170 more homes. They'll survive.

Of course, it's not about hardship it's about racist and xenophobic suburbanites trying to keep "certain people" out and we all know it.

That area is an ATM for Democrat party fundraising so they will back down on this.

I think you’re making a John Wick reference, if so the continental in John Wick is not the Flatiron its another building in the financial district

What?

So are we going to extend the subway up to Scarsdale? No? Well then, why don't we concentrate on the vast swaths of the outer boroughs that are built essentially at suburban density?

It’s vacant because the offices inside it are horrible, they’re all very weird angles and very small. The building is pretty to look at but inside it’s a completely different story.

Tranq addicts and dope heads prefer to stand and slump over all wobbly these days.

Dude, we only share this info with fam and friends.

Alright folks, nothing to see here. Please move along. Everything is fine.

I saw a documentary about this building. I don't know the owner's last name but he goes by Winston. The building's in bad shape but I believe it's supposed to get renovated by some group called the "High Table."

Its also the legal term. OP might not like it but it is what it is. Also OP gloss over that the LL will continue to rent or else have no tenant at all while ignoring the LL will now price future rents with a perpetual tenant risk hence higher prices and scrutiny for the next renter who don't have any price cap increase protection until the renew. OR the very real possibility, the units now taken off market

Yes exactly, I don't like the term for two reasons, but the main one is that it is only perpetual for the landlord.

It is also technically not perpetual for even the landlord though because if, for example, a small landlord wanted to start living in the unit they are renting, or wants to house their parent/sibling/child in the unit, the tenant does not have occupancy rights over those granted by the landlord.

Im no expert, but I think brick is more porous and therefore more prone to damage from freeze-thaw cycles than this, which I think is granite.

Building housing is the suburbs is fine and needed, but it would be much more effective and more environmentally sound to just build more housing in the city.

It’s also not their job to consolidate metro cards anymore…

I’m Italian and here we have lots of original bricks/stones original Renaissance street pavements.

Many of us actually don’t like when administrations cover it with asphalt, because it’s like covering/hiding history - even though sometimes is necessary to make it easier for cars, bikes, girls with heels/sandals (hello).

I think with the right maintenance the old layer is pretty cool, at least in residential areas.

From the landlord perspective it is perpetual. The tenant has an unbound by time option to renew at a cost controlled by the state and the landlord has to accept.

The first batch of Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI) studies graduates have arrived. Let the rewriting of herstory begin. See you at the Gate of the Exonerated. This post sits on the lands of the snoo people.

Love the app! I've just noticed you've really got to lean into the reviews. My motto is only get from places with over 4 stars, though.
