The streets of Midtown, with its grid, have a unique aspect of New York as well. The randomness of the streets in the financial district offer more of a mystery, you never know what skyscraper is lurking "just around the bend". You become more intimate with the skyscrapers. Used to love it on weekends when no on else was around, but things have been changing rapidly.

It would make sense for them to go as high as possible, with the recent and coming residential towers, especially the conversions. I would love to have something tall enough to add a little balance to the lower Manhattan skyline, but we may be getting to far ahead of ourselves. Still, it would be nice to see Downtown answer the residential supertalls of Midtown.
