Reply to comment by WorthPrudent3028 in Can New York Fix Its Housing Crisis? It Depends on the Suburbs by thenewyorktimes

Always love it when this sub wants to tear down Village, Chelsea and UES townhouses.

Even though I hate LPC, I’m somewhat glad they’re standing firmly in the way.

It's not about those neighborhoods which should be historic. It's the countless neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens filled with Archie Bunker and attached garage houses. That housing stock isn't particularly historic or attractive and is already priced well beyond the means of the lower middle class they were built for.

Woodside is a prime example.
