Can you imagine the impact if you have supertalls lining both sides of the Hudson (with possibilities on both sides of the East River too)? It will really be a NY Harbor skyline.
That it will do.

But consider the ridiculousness of the proposal: The 1,000 ft tower, together with a 107,500-seat motor sports stadium, world's tallest ferris wheel, plus gambling. Neither of those things needs gambling to get built. This guy wants the casino, and he's dangling those other things like a carrot hoping the politicians will take the bait. A hotel/apartment tower in an appropriate JC location would stand a much better chance.
