How much longer does this have to continue before you, Crawford, et al. start growing concerned? Do you guys really think 74 Trinity was a fair trade-off? It's boring and doesn't even make an impact on the skyline.

I also like these buildings, but in all fairness, Midtown (between 42nd and 50th) was architecturally sodomized long ago. Nonetheless, NY still has a sea of gorgeous old pre-War buildings below 42nd, on the UES, the UWS, Wall St., SoHo, TriBeCa, the Village, Union Square, Madison Sq., Lincoln Sq., etc.
