Bklink: Fourth Avenue vs. the Former East Berlin

"The high rise apartment buildings being built here in New York City have more than just a passing resemblance to the ones built in East Germany from the 1960's to the 1980's. I am thinking in particular about the ugly buildings going up on newly rezoned Fourth Avenue as well as the ones wedged in between 2 and 3 story houses a bit all over Brooklyn."--Pardon Me For Asking
