I'm really excited about Emerson, too. I wish I understood the real reasons why the city is letting LeFrak get away with building crap and why LeFrak is not being more ambitious in this hot market. That's interesting to hear about the Hoboken and Riverview Neighborhood Association lawsuit.
I wonder if both parties are unwilling to revisit the redevelopment plan because of NIMBY opposition. It's just simply easier to build to what's currently allowed. A damn shame if that's the case.
I'm even okay with height limits here and instead focus on cleverly designed buildings to maximize density.
