That doesn't look too out of place. Besides, (
), tall buildings go in New York. It's not as though this is some neighborhood where some high rise is breaking the proverbial glass ceiling where none yet exist. It's a neighborhood that already has dozens of high rises and not too far from even more that are even taller. What kind of New Yorker hasn't become used to high rises yet?
If I were them I'd be working with the developers on the design to make sure it jives with the neighborhood's style more than trying to keep it from happening.
