You said there were three floor buildings on Central Park. Where, exactly?

These are 5-7 floor buildings, and not on Central Park.

Are you serious right now. Do I really have to go and post all the three story buildings in Manhattan? Why don't you do it for me if you have free time. And I said around central park meaning north of Midtown. I was talking about everything to the east and west.

Since you want to knit pick, I will play your game. I'll do even better than 3 stories. Here is a two story building in Manhattan.

and

Three Story with a basement like most of DC rowhomes in the core.

and

Even One Story

Look, I know manhattan is miles ahead of DC in everyway, you are the one who will not beleive what I just said in this very sentence. I think you want to beleive I don't think that or otherwise, you would have left this alone a long time ago when I told you DC is nothing like Manhattan.

You said there were tons of three floor buildings on Central Park. I'm still waiting, and you keep posting random 3-floor buildings in other parts of NYC.

I posted buildings in Manhattan. I could do the same thing in area's north of Midtown too but why should I waste my time? It doesn't prove anything. NYC is far and away the most urban place in America and I never disputed that. Get over it.

Why are we comparing to DC to some of the most urban areas on the planet? I'm confused.

Yes, most of Kalorama consists of single family, detached homes with yards and driveways. Some streets don't even have sidwalks. Check out any of the streets.

kalorama, washington dc - Google Maps

This is typical Kalorama. It's the same on Belmont Rd., Tracy Place, Wyoming Ave., Kalorama Rd., California St., etc. etc.

You're comparing an area that looks like a nice, older suburb, with Manhattan of all places. This is why everyone is challenging the comparison. It's crazy. It's like comparing Greenwich, CT to K Street in downtown DC.

Who said anything about Kalorama? When I was talking about Downtown DC, I wasn't talking about anything north of the actual Dupont Circle and definetly not north of Florida Ave. NW. Do you have any idea how large the area I named is? Why are you still talking about Kalorma? Once again, you are nitpicking the edges of my boundary and I have yet to see you talk about anything south of these areas or east of these areas. Why don't you bring up NOMA, Capital Riverfront, SW Waterfront, SW Eco District, Mt. Vernon Triangle, Northwest One, or the Atlas District?
