The look of the city is changing a lot in many neighborhoods. There are some really cool new buildings and I get why they're building the way they are - they have to build higher to accommodate more people, which requires certain materials and styles, and those materials last longer (brownstone sloughs off from the weather and is really hard to keep up). But I still love the brownstones and the NYC neighborhoods that are built lower.
