It's never worth it. Don't think it will end with just this one tower, and the design is not what they object to.

Silver in his written monthly report to C.B. 1 said of the tower that “the city has now agreed to put those plans on hold.”

A source close to Chin had said on Wednesday that the creation of a task force with the Howard Hughes Corp. would likely have the effect of halting the project.

The E.D.C. official acknowledged the task force may have the effect of a delay but said that was always going to be part of the project and added it was not true that there have been any changes to the milestones or any hold on the proposal.
I don't care how they want to color it, the result is the NIMBYs will get what they wanted. On hold doesn't mean the same as canceld BTW.
