I just believe we have underperformed with missed opportunities at waterview tower and the Keller spire proposal.

I won't deny several major missed opportunities, but any comparisons to NYC are pretty much ridiculous. The market there is a completely different animal, especially when it comes to the skinny towers being built. NYC certainly has seen many super thin, relatively low total square foot towers being built, but Chicago's tallest have pretty much been quite large in terms of overall square footage.
At any rate, let's be happy with the amazing changes in this city's skyline over the last number of years. It's truly quite remarkable!
