I was looking at renderings and floor plans of 200 Eleventh Avenue. It's got the whole works. Double height ceiling, en suite sky garage, a gorgeous park nearby (planned to be built just north of chelsea piers), private gym, great views, blah blah blah everything. I even like the design. Anyway it got me wondering, Is New York going to become a giant park with glass and steel luxury condos (most of which are doggish)? After all, it seems like that’s all that’s being built now. There’s really no other new construction. Also I think that there is a constant, unending demand for luxury housing near the waterfront with gorgeous, new-landscaped parks. People with money keep flooding the city to move to these quaint, less gritty, city-like luxury towers in the park. It's like a yuppie corbusier-robert moses hybrid has taken over the city, and with their rule has transformed the city into a place that can be both brain-numbingly monotonous and irresistibly luxurious and enticing. Anyway, I realized that all my doomsday talk was off-the-mark when I looked at this photo I took last week
...not really, but I like the photo anyway
