They should allow 30-40 million SF of new development, but auction off the air rights to help pay for the Second Avenue Subway extension (originally proposed to go all the way downtown; that needs to happen!). That would seem to be the best way of forcing developers to bear some of the infrastructure costs of new development...
Besides the above, it would be great to see several 1,000'+ office towers rise in Midtown East. Would definitely help balance the skyline, as Midtown West is going to be simply massive come 2020.
