Paul Goldberger stressed that in the 70s New York architecture winced from the streets.
Such paradigm was likely reflecting the widespread association of danger with street life, a perception stemming from much higher crime rates and indirectly reinforced by the residential flight to the suburbs.
Conversely, the current openness is consistent with the image of New York as a safe city.
Thank you for studying streets, i have been working on a photo documentary of streets as rooms for a decade and have a photographs of streets around the world. NYC is finally building its street as rooms.
Thank you for checking on the progress and bringing it to our public's attention.

Ooooooooo, it's scary I'm all alone in here!
There's too much crap. I thought the 50s-60s architecture was bad-and it is-but much of the stuff going up today is, well, crap!
Interesting comment. I wonder if one gets used to water-boarding over time! Hm, let's ponder that.
