The Pod People of Kips Bay
Calling all non-claustrophobes! These long-awaited micro-housing units in Kips Bay – the subjects of much speculation since, in 2012, former Mayor Bloomberg waived zoning regulations that would require at least 450 feet of living space – are finally accepting applications.
