Left wing architecture brought us Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village
Originally (1947) prioritized for WWII vets (and very much just for white people for like a while after it was built), the development today has some of the most sought after rental apartments in the entire city, cause it’s a great place for community
11k apartments from 14th st to 23rd st, 1st ave to ave C
