Why do so many buildings in Queens look like this?
Because developers keep hiring the same three or four budget architects. Basically the Gene Kaufmanns of the borough’s.
I know! It’s not bad, but they’re getting a bit old.
Love the look of building. I’d consider moving in since I live near by. Great area for shopping, eating out and transportation.
