If ever there was a tower worthy of going up, it's this one. Cancer touches all of our lives at some point or another. If more space is needed to fight the fight, so be it, at whatever height. Some things are more important than precious views.

Whose views would even be blocked by this? Aren't the adjacent towers all part of Memorial Sloan Kettering?

Are you kidding? A 600 ft, blocky building on the Upper East Side will block many views. The campus itself is huge.

I see a few walk-ups across the street and then, as you mentioned, a bunch of towers that are already there. Most of the residential towers that are tall enough to have a view "blocked" by this are so far away that it won't really matter. There are towers in NYC. That's part of the deal.

You're just not understanding the concept of a "view". It doesn't matter though.

Please enlighten me with your advanced understanding of a view. Is it the Ravenswood Generating Station? The planes taking off from LaGuardia? What view will be obstructed and by whom?

I’m not going to “enlighten” you with understanding anything as basic as a view. If you don’t get it, you don’t get it. END of story. Good day.
