Pretty much every single building I see being constructed around the Seattle area is a 5-over-2
- rco8786 3y agoWe’re getting tons of that in Atlanta also, I imagine it’s a similar story in most US cities right now. I think it’s great
- muro 3y agoIt's a monstrosity, a tribute to blandness. All cities look exactly the same. It's possible it will look better when the trees grow (if they plant any), though who knows whether the buildings will still be around.
- rco8786 3y agoAtlanta is great about trees. Any that are removed have to have a replacement planted. Not sure where you're referring to, but at least around here in the actual city the architecture and landscaping is varied enough to not be bland. And we're seeing genuine increases in density and walkability/bikability and "urbanism" in general. I put 10x more miles on my electric scooter than I do my car now. > who knows whether the buildings will still be around. Not sure what this means.
- muro 3y agoThanks, good to know Atlanta is doing this well! >> who knows whether the buildings will still be around. >Not sure what this means. Just that I've seen buildings demolished within a timeframe, where the trees wouldn't have time to fully grow :)
