Yeah, back them they were probably thinking "lets do the opposite of what was here and didn't work". I wonder if developers will end up buying those and putting at least townhouses there.
Still, I wish more of the Southeast's Bronx midrise apartment buildings survived. I find the West Bronx to be much more aesthetically pleasing without as many of those ugly modern rowhomes. And I hate that they mostly have driveways (many people love them though, of course).
Can you explain what those look like in the context of NYC? I looked up the definition but can't visualize what type of building would havw them . And I just walked down that same block the other day.
I guess The Bronx being a continuation of Manhattan probably plays into why subways only travel north and south in that borough cause technically speaking Manhattan doesn’t do a good job at that also! Technically!
Yeah, definitely. It would be nice if there was at least one line that cut across diagonally like the 7 kind of does in Queens. Or at the very least a Shuttle train made to connect parallel lines like in Franklin Ave in Brooklyn.

Perhaps there was just no demand for that back when subway lines were actually being built. Although I think a lot of the development in the outer boroughs followed the subway more so than the other way around.
For those who do have cross Bronx commutes, they will just have to take the bus (which I don't think is as bad as people think) or drive. Plus many people in The Bronx drive, and rowhomes with driveways are pretty common in the formerly burnt out sections of The Bronx.
Come to think of it, my aunt lives in a railroad apartment in Park Slope. It was renovated recently, so I think those buildings will be there for a while.
Do buildings that look like this usually feature railroad apartments?

Yea but they aren’t tearing them down that much in park slope. Areas like Hell’s Kitchen and even parts of Harlem yea to make way for those large condo style buildings!
Neither are necessarily "suburban" in the outer. Wakefield in The Bronx is pretty urban and so are East New York and Cypress Hills in Brooklyn.
He could also be talking about areas like Riverdale, Throggs Neck, City Island
