This site is more likely than any of the others to get a casino license. The NIMBYs have no say over the height of whatever get's built here. If Related reverts back to the original site plan, it will take longer to get the site fully built, due to most of it being residential. But there will be at least one, possibly two supertalls built on site. Further, it's a site bordered by numerous supertalls, so that argument really doesn't hold any weight, which is why now they're leaning on the "High Line" and "Housing" arguments. If they really cared about anything other than being anti-casino, they would insist Related build more affordable housing units instead of the extra luxury units they're insisting Related build.
