See what I mean?
I’ve made several comments lately about how the type of development that’s taking place in the Village is changing. We were in a row house phase for a short time, and there was much angst about that, but now it seems like there’s two types of development. Multi-unit housing, and Big Expensive Homes. These days, if a single-family house gets torn down, seems like you’re most likely to get a whole building full of condos in it’s place…. Here’s an example of another multi-unit building, going sort of next to Grand Central Bakery on what will likely be one of the worst streets to have to drive to and from home on in the Village. Having a big bunch of people living there will be OK, but those people parking cars and turning out onto either 35th or that other street is REALLY going to cause some adventurous traffic. The intersection there by Marco’s on 35th is already somewhat dicey….
Still - I just had a conversation yesterday with a friend who was wondering about condo availability in the Village - so there’s certainly no lack of available customers for these places. Another couple of years and we’re going to have a LOT of people living ’round here.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that….
