It's a way of life for skyscrapers in Manhattan.

If you feel that way about Metlife, then enjoy the ESB views today, because the views from the Westside will be obstructed inside the next 14 years.
That's a very, very poor example. You're talking about a far distance view -- I'm talking close distance from the street.

Secondly, citing "old" buildings being obstructed does not provide any justification for this one. Please try injecting more solid logic into your argument...
