We can not reasonably expect to match this in NEW YORK residential architecture; but surely we can do better than Lego Land buildings. There is a discussion to be had as to why so many new buildings in NYC do not come close the the beauty (or craft/building trade quality) of the Dorilton Condo building: perhaps too deep a subject to delve into on a public forum. 😬 _I am particularly interested in the issues regarding the craft trades; which have also declined considerably over the years. Considering some sort of ‘private’ discussion group for construction trade pros like myself: who know maybe this be an idea worth pursuing - or maybe not.. 🤔_ ![images](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/e/8/e835468e107f28c7c1804e5887e48e9b12e2de34.jpeg) **MY own photo here from this week -** ![IMG_0478](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/1/c/1cb6c3d6a99243e640278e1f250ab7c104f79ef8.jpeg) [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/3/b/3bb06572c5cc29c4d128b2ea5dbe6927419f6c97.jpeg "New Building in Old Cities: Writings by Gustavo Giovannoni on Architectural and Urban Conservation") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5-5i057wmA) ---

A lot of it is the cost of labor.
