Yeah, that was a ridiculous quote, the second piece he's written in a week against the proposal. That's how you know he's serving as somebody's mouthpiece. Were there numerous companies looking to jump over to the vast wasteland of Manhattan's westside? No. But proper zoning, and a single subway line unleashed it. Not to mention developers who were willing and able to build. And Related couldn't just build one tower alone over there to attract anything, the entire area had to get a critical mass of development for it to work. There's no way Time Warner is moving over there without it.
