Aside from the hordes of critics who completely *loathe* the PanAm/MetLife building and still yearn to see its demise, did anyone during the course of this discussion or anywhere else suggest or imply that it *would*...or even *should*? I'm asking not to be a rhetorical smart-@$$; but maybe I missed out when the suggestion might have been made during the online presentation.

It needs to stay...if only to keep one of the surprisingly few towers (for the time being) between 800 and 900 feet in *all* NYC intact. The idea of converting two thirds of it to civic use is all the more good reasoning. The only thing I would suggest vis a vis the greenery between the building segments is to ease up a bit. Having rooftop vegetation on any skyscraper just slopped on like ChiaPet paste is just flat out *stupid*.

There...I said it.
