I'm not sure what you mean by this comment. NIMBYs are irrelevant when a tower is as-of-right.
If anything, 57th Street would be an easier place to build such a tower, because the residential values are much higher.
And NIMBYs are opposed to all development. It makes no difference if the building is 1,800 ft. or 180 ft., if there's an opportunity to block a development, they will do so.
