Keeping the repugnant eyesore that is MSG. Putting lipstick on a pig for Penn Station. Destroying a dozen historic buildings (all pre-wars), replacements are likely blue-clad boxes, no knockout towers.

The right answer was always simple: bulldoze MSG (Cuomo's such a self-professed big, strong macho man but is too scared to eminent domain a building owned by a family that is widely loathed?), rebuild Penn Station, add 500m supertalls to the northern sites currently occupied by lowrise trash.

Instead what we're getting: keeping MSG (and the evil owners who will feel empowered now), subpar Penn Station (still), mediocre skyscrapers, destroying historic buildings to the South.

Absolute trash. I hope Cuomo gets ousted for his corruption and we start over. The only even remotely acceptable part is the Vornado piece of the equation (sites 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).

If you hate it, start speaking out about it.
