So this 1,200 ft Lord Foster piece of trash will go up a block away.

Not against development at the Hotel Penn site, just want an epic NYC tower like 175 Park.. not this crap.
Tower Verre was supposedly chopped because it was mid block and because the planning chair at the time criticized the top design at the time, calling it unfinished and unworthy of sharing the sky with the ESB (or something like that). I certainly did not agree with that decision.
