Yea, it's south of the Major Deegan it seems which is like a micro neighborhood where the nice, bougie stuff has been getting built up though this is placed west of Third Avenue, so crossing into that part isn't all that easy and pleasant.

It's really well situated for an extension of the second avenue subway into the Bronx. That's ostensibly what's supposed to happen with two services running on the Second Avenue subway--one that turns west and is a crosstown for Harlem and then another service going up into the Bronx. It'd be good for the Bronx one to go from 2nd Avenue to Lincoln Avenue with a stop at 138th street to transfer to the 6 and then go up 3rd Avenue and then maybe up Boston Road.

The BX15 already connects the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, A, B, C, D, Hudson, New Haven, and Harlem lines to the Hub. Would the light rail replace it?

The majority of the people here never come to this area much less ride buses. They have no clue about this

Hell NO! I never said that. I'm all for areas to improve, especially mine. I'd love to be able to go out to a bar down the street from me or a food establishment that isn't fast food and bad for you.
Nothing wrong with raises prices for nice accommodations, but putting a building in the hood and asking prices for what people can get in nice neighborhoods in high rises already is insane. I hope the greedy developer has an empty sitting building. There needs to be a middle ground. Its a nice building offering amenities, so its more then other places in the area. But the area isn't developed to offer midtown prices.

Not me, but somebody who spends $400 on Yeezy Boost sneakers would and will :-).


I don't think this type of construction is what you guys tend to call "gentrification", though. People you usually call "gentrifiers" are frugal artists and professionals looking for understated value in more affordable areas. People you call "gentrifiers" are typically not looking for overpriced flashy architectural c*ap :-).
