More seriously though, renovations like these and wholesale demolition and reconstruction are points on the same spectrum of development. Historically, buildings would change with neighborhoods, and eventually when they got too far out of line with demand, they would be torn down

Lower Manhattan townhouses were converted to stores & warehouses in the 1800s. Soon they could no longer be adapted and were torn down. These were adapted for retail, demand has grown too much. They're inaccessible and aren't providing housing in a crisis. Thank them and move on

IDK I kinda like them

It's a quirky transitional phase, but more townhouses elsewhere can always been fucked up if that's what you're into

This is just a slightly scaled down St. Marks Place, that famous urban failure

St. Mark's Place should have towers too, like W. 32nd St.

Fulton Street in lower Manhattan has tons of low and retail and tall buildings. It’s quirky and works just finepic.twitter.com/HFOWrZXgcD

Yeaaa... no man. All the surrounding blocks have more or less unconstrained density and this area does have some historical significance as the bohemian area in the 60’s. The scale and finegrain is part of that significance, even if it looks distorted

I actually love it. It's eclectic and lively and human scale. No objection to one-by-one redevelopment of the individual buildings over time (which would preserve the eclecticism) but loss of this kind of granularity via super-block development is bad for urbanism IMO.
