Layla Law-Gisiko, a member of the local community board, had a pointed reaction to the idea of more people flooding into the area: “Disastrous, disastrous, disastrous.”

Disastrous. The area is a mad house to begin with. Its bloody NYC. Its crowded, the streets. Much less let's forget about all of HY and Manhattan West which will literally add 10000+ folks to the disastrous streets. Won't make one iota of difference (the area around December for example). Adding people to sidewalks is a poor argument. Better than cars at least!

Gale Brewer, the Manhattan borough president, said that a tower over Macy’s would “require major public improvements to the streets and sidewalks that surround the Herald Square neighborhood.”

Of course she would. Anything to make it a pain in the cranium for developers.
