I think you misunderstand me NYguy. Going up is more efficient than building out obviously. To have luxury you must have waste, and there's nothing wrong with that.
These towers could fit twice as many people if they were filled with regularly sized NYC apartments.
They are not as efficient as possible, and that is fine for now.
