    “Around here” is in the vicinity of the speaker

    “Around there” is in the vicinity of the subject

    It’s an error of one letter, neither of you have to be jerks about it

      Nope, gotta change the context or subject for around here to mean the speaker. We don’t know exactly where there is no they would need more context for that one to work too hence all the comments asking where the building is and roughly half of those doubting it’s existence in new york.

      I live in x there’s no 25 story brick buildings around here. Would be the speaker.

      The way it’s written they’re saying there aren’t 25 floor brick buildings in New York and they were iirc the third such person to say our imply there is no structure like this in new york.
