No I don't dude, it was just an example in my discussion with phillyfan. Next time I'll use corporation X instead of Comcast.
Having tall buildings, vibrancy,residents,jobs, people isn't going to hurt Drexel or Penn. It will only make them stronger and more inviting.
I know there is a sentiment here that skylines are irrelevant and they serve little purpose. I call BS on that. 4 Mile continuous Skyline is a calling card only a few cities in the world can claim, Philadelphia has that potential. You add a string of eye catching 400' + towers from 30th to 40th extending the already impressive skyline and you start to really get peoples attention.
Its ridiculous to say WHOA that's it , the skyline stops at 31st. We're Drexel or We're Penn. No NO No . This is the city of Philadlephia not the city of Penn or Drexel.
