"You want it better? You will have to pay for it. Want it more than just a shoe-box? Get the developer to be willing to take a reduction in floor space. Want it to have innovative structure/features? You will have to pay the engineers and and architects to invest more design developer time into it. want it actually built that way? Construction workers for anything beyond 'insert slot A into tab B' assembly will either say that (a) don't know how or (b) want 2x the price to do it. Unfortunately, 'good' buildings dont just happen. its not a desire to make a glass box. Often its the only possible way to get something done."?Skroob [Critic Rant: 'No One Even Trying' on New UES Condo Building]
