Nothing wrong with neon signs that stretch long distances up and down avenues. For example, Tokyo has streets that have neon up and down for a long distancce, like Ginza and Shinjuku. I see no issue with that in NYC. These are commercial districts for the most part anyway I believe. And besides, the lights do enliven the area at night. As long as more gems are not destroyed for those signs/lights, I'm am OK with it. However, there are plenty of dull modern buildings in NYC that could do with enlivening with lights.
