The more I learn about this proposal, the more I hate it.
Keeping the repugnant eyesore that is MSG. Putting lipstick on a pig for Penn Station. Destroying a dozen historic buildings (all pre-wars), replacements are likely blue-clad boxes, no knockout towers.
The right answer was always simple: bulldoze MSG (Cuomo's such a self-professed big, strong macho man but is too scared to eminent domain a building owned by a family that is widely loathed?), rebuild Penn Station, add 500m supertalls to the northern sites currently occupied by lowrise trash.
Instead what we're getting: keeping MSG (and the evil owners who will feel empowered now), subpar Penn Station (still), mediocre skyscrapers, destroying historic buildings to the South.
Absolute trash. I hope Cuomo gets ousted for his corruption and we start over. The only even remotely acceptable part is the Vornado piece of the equation (sites 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).
