Where do you live to be saying that? Also please post your architectural ideas for the space.

Well at least it’s better than those cookie cutter Candea buildings that go up.

I get your meaning. The ugliness is the loss of real people, meaning diverse people, meaning lower middle class people, meaning poor people.

$1400 for a studio apartment?? That’s not even 500 feet square?

At least the building will get rid of some of those ghetto auto repair places.

Oh, YAY! We need more unoccupied ground floor retail space between Foster and Lawrence! More cars fighting for parking is always a welcome addition to any neighborhood, too. Thank you. I wonder how long it will take the new yuppie condo owners to start lobbying to get rid of Village thrift and the lower-income people it attracts.

Also–does that developer understand that we have one of the finest indy bookstores in the entire freaking country in this neighborhood already? One that has survived an industry completely upended in the past 25 years. WTH is a suggested bookstore as retail anchor in that rendering all about? Someone is either unschooled about the neighborhood or trying to be offensive.

Agree that is hideous.

This is SO UGLY. I’d rather keep the auto repair places.
