More Architectural Nonsense in Bed Stuy
Just a few blocks from yesterday’s stoop silliness, we noticed another bone-head architectural move. Putting aside all the other design flaws of this structure, why the heck couldn’t the architect make it line up with the adjacent facades. If you have the brains to become a licensed architect how could possibly screw that up? GMAP

BMX? We were poor. BMX is like 3 times as much as a Huffy. Jeez.
Huffy?? I miss my blue and gold BMX.
That would be a bicycle. A very kick ass red and black bicycle with black plastic hubs, grip handles and awesome reflectorssssss dammit whyyyyyyy?
What’s a Huffy?
Everytime I see these lost opportunity, screw-it-up-for-the-next-50-years type developments I get a minor version of that feeling I got when I was 8 when I realized some asshole teenagers just stole my brand new Huffy.
Not following the lot line is really a cardinal sin, as it makes the street look off balance. It also reminds me of a mouth of crooked or missing teeth.

Well, judging from your sentence structure capabilities (or lack thereof), how are you qualified to be writing a daily blog.
Sometimes zoning doesn’t give us poorly educated and licensed architects a choice to make nice aesthetically-driven decisions.
Tons of old buildings are non-conforming, meaning that many are not in compliance with new setback and lot coverage rules(so they’re closer to the street, bigger etc..). When you build a new building you need to comply with zoning ordinances that may include deeper setbacks and less lot coverage. That’s the way it goes. Sometimes not all the facades line up. I know it makes these kinds of bad buildings stand out more, but a consistent setback from the street isn’t the goddamn holy grail of building/urban planning. Get a grip.
