Have you seen all of the condos going up in lower Manhattan? What you don't see, and what we won't see if we lose the last available site, is a 2msf office tower going up. New York always needs those, and there are so very few sites in the city that can support them. This happens to be one of them, and it should be reserved as such, I don't care how long it takes. Condos can and are going up everywhere else.

I was just expressing my personal bias against B of A and NYT, as I despise their oversized spires. I didn't expect you to agree that they are fake supertalls!

I don't agree with anything you said, I'm just pointing it out. None of what you said makes sense. Not by the farthest imagination.

Well then, that tells me you don't really know what you're talking about, and know nothing of how things work in New York. So we'll leave it at that. In the meantime, if you need something to watch, there are plenty of other supertall office towers going up in the city (with more to follow). No need for this thread to keep bumping with, as you said, no real action.
