I notice there's a lack of any attempt to understand the positions of anyone who isn't a fan of tall buildings on this forum.
I mean, I'm obviously a big fan of skyscrapers - I'm here after all - but I'm much more interested in seeing healthy growth within a city, not just a constant climb upwards.
To that end, I wish contributors to this forum would actually engage in a discussion about how others might feel about towers of this nature. To do otherwise would just make us bad neighbors.
Anyway, to sum my point up - I love height, but this tower is going to cause some ugly changes to the surrounding neighborhoods. People have to understand that the majority of the structures being built in Brooklyn and lower Manhattan are of extremely poor quality and turn streets into empty mechanical voids.
We can do better.
