 Today, the pioneering website Curbed is joining New York as our home for coverage of cities and city life. Like the print magazine and its digital siblings, Curbed will be based in New York, and it will focus on the city’s architecture and design, neighborhoods and characters, real estate and policy, power brokers and rabble-rousers. But the site will also continue to reach nationally, diving into the lively, urgent conversation about what cities can become in a time of rapid change. And we hope it will also be the sharpest eyes on the real-estate market as well as a place of playful but unerring good taste. Here’s the first of what will surely be many Curbed stories we’ll be recommending to you in this newsletter: Andrew Rice’s report on the precarious state of the city’s mid-pandemic commercial-real-estate world and the anxieties of the “permanent government” executives who aren’t sure they can build their way out of this crisis. | | | — The Editors of New York |  | ![]() | | Photo: Matthew Porter | | | | Never miss a story from New York:
