I still miss those row homes 🙁
Same. Not enough density to have torn them down. This needed to be a couple stories taller
This should have been double, if not triple the height.
Was gonna say this looks nice but needs to be taller – then looked on Google Maps to see the row homes this replaced. Tragic. Should’ve left them alone, there’s plenty of crap nearby to redevelop.
And while this is a residential street, something this close to Clark should’ve been much, much taller, especially if replacing uncommon historic buildings in a neighborhood that is losing more and more by the day.
