I hope it's not.
Wasn't it only used by the construction workers ?
Come on !
Freudian theories refer constantly to sexuality.
Did I make an allusion without realizing it ?
Am I out of control ?
Proportions seem to look good when one is used to them. Being disturbed by the new antenna is a healthy reaction.
Stop it !
I can't feel my legs.
It certainly does look different.
And way better.
That's right.
But it didn't change the cityscape as much as I thought it would.
You're done ? Already !
That was fast.
You sure didn't ponder much... OK, how about that : tax breaks for all the new tall buildings in Manhattan (say, over 900 ft).
That could work and help the...
In either case, it'll be a huge space.
What will be in it ?
Water tank ? Exclusive club like that of the Chrysler building ?
Or not.
It could be the anti-Rockefeller center.
I hate it when I make people ponder over themselves.
Please Freedom Tower, don't do it !
Right.
I think they are V-braces instead of X-braces.
Not really.
To quote Phil on another forum :
Not at all.
The street system in London is a mess.
Paris has a decent plan. And boulevards.
That's right.
But the top priority is not taxes but jobs. That's what NYC needs right now.
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Barcelona.
That would be fair.
I wish it was a 97-story building.
But that would be impossible because such a tall building would disrupt the emission by the antenna of Condé Nast.
Then I guess I'm not complaining either.
At least they have seen a design.
... as well as most European and Asian big cities.
I think it's a good thing.
That would be a relief...
Is it really what you think of them ?
Aren't you being a little excessive ?
Better than the average is not good enough for this unique location.
17 out of 25 ? That can't be right.
Is the tower going to be 650 ft tall ? or even lower ?
Hopefully, it'll be a better public space than an eye-catcher in the skyline.
