"It always seems to be the case that developers and architects come to Manhattan from other places (such as the outer boroughs, the suburbs, exurbia) with the reflexive and unwittingly anti-urban goal of creating apartment buildings that are somehow removed, isolated and insulated from the hubbub of city life, rather than immersed in it. These developers and architects can't even imagine, from their car-centric perspectives, that it's the very busyness of city life, where everyone and everything is close at hand in profuse abundance and array, that is a city's essential appeal."?anon [Conversions]
