I find the following snippet interesting:

" We are not against new construction in general. Indeed, New York desperately needs hundreds of thousands of new housing units, and more affordable ones. However, 175 Park Avenue does nothing to address New York City's housing crisis. It is simply a shiny new trophy for its well-heeled developers. While we would still find this tower unattractive in any location, its presence directly in-between Grand Central and the Chrysler Building is what we cannot abide. "

Its funny because these are the same type of folks that will be quick to jump the gun on out-of-scale or out-of-character developments that add real housing. They want 100 percent affordable housing but not that much to OVERWHELM the area and no market rate and than when someone proposes a ton of units, both market rate and affordable, they are very quick to come out and protest against it. What they really need to do is to sit down and shut the f**k up. Silence can lead to a lot of good developments going forward!
One45 in Harlem remembers. All for housing but minute its proposed, oh no.. not in this area... too big... too big for NYC lol.
