Infill -- when it's good, it's very good. When it's bad, the developer should be excised.
"But for many parts of the city, the incremental toll of the little things has had as deep an impact. Under the inglorious name of 'infill' -- which sounds like somewhere to toss old furniture -- these buildings serve as anchors around the city. As someone who lives in a neighborhood awash in infill, I can say that when it's good, it's very, very good, and when it's bad, the architect and the developer should be sent to another state."
