They should just simply upzone the entire city by 25%, and add development fees for new construction that would fund the building of infrastructure to support the added population. Intentionally...

So they're not just nuking MSG. They're nuking all the Penn Plaza towers, and everything else on the blocks from 33rd to 34th and 30th to 31st (at least. I'm not sure if 29th to 30th is in there...

Looking at the (destroyed) SUV (I think), If they had a good roll cage, which isn't ridiculously expensive, they might have survived.

A not great view from the 56th street side. But it does show the first glass on the structure.

Apparently if Kelly wanted to be mayor, he'd be the instant front runner. Okay, maybe the poll is a bit strange. But I do think a well known outsider could walk into the race and take it.

This is too big an issue, for too many people, to sneak though.

Then let CT ban the manufacture of firearms in that state. To not would be hypocritical, no? They're perfectly willing to keep the jobs and tax money, but the don't want the product. BTW, I think...

I'd love to see every gun manufacture leave CT. Why should they support a state that want to screw with them?

The issue here is that it doesn't do anything for the politicians at the federal level. They're going to take the heat for allowing the states to, effectively if not theoretically, raise taxes. So...

This seems to have fallen off the radar. I don't think the House has any desire to pass this.

If you were in the market for a few million sqft of office space, where would you want it? Would you rather be on the far, far west side, where at best you need to take a subway transfer to get...

Or maybe they realize the reality of the fact that Penn Station will never be rebuilt as it originally was, and they're trying to get the best deal that they can for allowing MSG to stay where it is.

While they may or may not have wanted to use the de facto tax exemption to grow internet commerce, I think their motivations were much simpler. Most internet shoppers liked the fact that the could...

I don't know why everyone expects these building (Chrysler, ESB, etc.) to be in the skyline view forever. Building is guaranteed it's view won't be blocked, conversely, the view of a building is...

Hopefully the house will shoot this down.

Remember, there was a lot of nothing at that intersection before (the lowrise 50's eyesore and single story taxpayer this building replaced, the parking lot the Gwathmy condo now sits on, plus the...

I wonder how long till we see badly camouflaged (electrical tape, anyone?) stolen CitiBikes being used by food deliverymen.

So it's not the job of western retailers to enforce building codes in third world countries (where they don't even likely exist)?

And if it ever did move, they wouldn't rebuild Penn Station. Likely it would end up being one or more office towers.

From a distance, it's not bad. But the NYPD insisted that the lobby be essentially a bunker. So no one's going to actually want to go in.

Jumping the crane:

I have a feeling it's because they care much more about the interior of the building than the exterior. The buyers are going to be looking from the inside out. The glass matters from that...

Why, because YOU don't like what they want to do with their own land? Get out of NYC and see how far that attitude gets you.

I'm amazed how many busybodies are out there who think they have the...

Everyone likes their Senators / Congresscritter, no one likes anyone elses.

This is basically correct. The market should decide what gets built. Where there are concrete infrastructure issues (water, sewer, traffic, garbage collection, air quality, etc.), or conflicting...
