Hudson Yards 3


Construction is going wild in Manhattan these days.  

Everything came to a screeching halt in 2008, 

and then started to pick up again slowly over the following years,

so lots of new buildings have come on the scene in the past few years.  

But this wave is even more dramatic, and signs of old New York are disappearing quickly. 

Nowhere is this more evident than in Hudson Yards.  

What surprises me most about it is the density of the buildings.  

In my neighborhood we have some tall buildings and some short ones so you can still see daylight even on the 7th floor.  

But what strikes me about Hudson Yards is that everyone will be looking into someone else’s windows.  What a drag. 

Oh and their showpiece “Vessel” is ugly from every angle.  I don’t know what they were thinking.


Here are two previous blogs about Hudson Yard…
