field notes

Starrett City. Huge blockgroup of towers. How many? Many. Corbusier would be (relatively) proud. Towers are actually set in parks, not parking lots. (Dog walking and picnicking are not allowed, though). Buildings are 16-17 stories tall. Complex also has a shopping center, community college outlet, medical center, Jewish school, easy access to Shore Parkway.
