I often wish NYC would adopt a London-like sightline preservation system, in which skyscraper development is permitted pretty much anywhere, but certain views are preserved. London has sightline preservation for St. Paul's, and I think Big Ben/Westminster. No building can be built which blocks the view of those two from certain places (e.g. Hyde Park).

I heard the UN is moving its HQ there. The eiffel tower is moving there soon as well. Elon Musk even decided he didnt want to go to mars anymore after visiting.
