thank you!

Also, the dry cleaner lost it's conservation battle, from what I last read (article from 2022), so why can't they tear it down?

...no, it was a genuine question. The only thing I found out about the dry cleaner was that it was an example of a particular type of architecture and there was controversy about preserving it. Do you have a link to the article talking about apartments?

So what housing will be placed where the dry cleaner was?

Your comment is a little disengenuous, if this is the structure you're referring to. It's not just a "dry cleaner", it's a great and preserved example of a type.of architecture. This is "not in the name of stopping development". You may not agree with the reason, but it's not to "stop development at any cost". https://montgomeryplanning.org/blog-design/2011/03/building-of-the-month/
