This is how you play ball. Everyone has their own perogatives, municipalities and developers, alike. New York is a city where its government doesn't just have to roll over for any old thing, so good on them for getting most of (and in probably even more depending on how you measure it) what it wanted, and the developer getting the height they wanted. It's a win-win if you ask me, good on all the parties involved. In my mind, it disproves the stance of critics of this administration before it was even elected that any kind of demand from a city kills good development. This is how you work together for everyone's good.
