How fitting... This is the one with the poor door as well, no?
What do a trash can and a luxury condo have in common? They are both filled with garbage.
Was just in NYC...That building is just plain ugly.
Seems like a nice trashcan to me..... What's the problem.
I don't get he poor door issue.... It's a sideshow from making real affordable housing.
