The fun part is the dynamics certain nodes will add. For example, in the last pic in the last photo set post, note the area to the left of Jersey Cities downtown/waterfront. Journal Square will add a lot and is a smaller node that is rising with a ton in the pipeline. Further West, not seen in the pic, is Newark NJ.
Newark has their new tallest rising. The current record holder, the National Newark Building, held that record since 1931! The Halo, at 573 ft will redefine the Newark skyline... along with this below:

IMO, the nodes within the NYC area have done the most to alter the aesthetics of the skyline. Jersey City/Downtown Brooklyn to Lower Manhattan make it look like one giant node from a far, just as Long Island City/Greenpoint/Astoria complement Midtown.
The nodes add a lot in small ways!

Ah, reminds me, the LES skyline bound to rise in the future. This will add a lot to the aesthetics.
