During COVID, I spent a lot of time walking around my neighborhood in Queens. On my walks, I started paying more attention to the ways in which our borough's exuberant diversity and resilience are reflected in its housing stock.
Homes that started out as identical evolved as the owners adapt them to their tastes and needs, taking on their own distinct personalities.
There's something reassuring about how, even though their styles may clash, they still coexist peacefully, side by side.
