The amount of high rises up going outside of Manhattan is stunning. A bulk of the projects since I've been keeping track are actually in Queens. High and mid rises. Zoning like this will provide a good escape from the prices of Manhattan. What will be interesting is the trend in commuting, and how the system will handle "X' amount of new residents/visitors/workers. From a skyline perspective, it will only elongate the mass that is Midtown East. Think of LIC as an infant that will sprout the next skyscraper mass of NYC. Likewise for Brooklyn. Its starting to feel more interconnected to Lower Manhattan. Even though these two are separated by the East River, from certain angles and distances, you would think that they are a giant cluster.
