• "Shoreline apartments is planned to contain initially about 1,000 apartments, a school, a shopping mall, a community center, parks, playgrounds, a skating rink, and there's even dreamy-eyed talk of a grassy-banked amphitheatre."
• “Within walking distance of downtown Buffalo, N.Y., on a wide swath of land on the shore of Lake Erie, once a run-down sprawl of dilapidated houses, warehouses, and industrial buildings, a strikingly imaginative new community of housing is taking shape.”
  
  
  “When construction is finished, grass and lots of trees will weave throughout the site, creating a refreshing park-like setting” 
  
  
  “It seems we’re incessantly tied to the automobile but within the community I definitely wanted to encourage the pleasures of walking. Residents will be able to walk from their apartments without crossing any of the parking areas, along paths to the community center, the school, the shops, and the pedestrian mall, which leads to downtown Buffalo, with all its shops, theatres, and restaurants.”
   
  
  “Even at this initial stage, the impression of this exciting, new community is inspiring, and it proves that with lively imagination, fresh approaches, and a deep care about people that extends not only to putting a roof over their heads but also to creating an invigorating environment for them to live in a massive, low-cost housing projects can be built that will truly revitalize our cities and their inhabitants.”
