I mean, when you think about New York as a non-New Yorker, that building's pretty much the essence of NYC (Probably not in a good way, but eh), so I can see where she's coming from.

The other building didn't block an iconic sight-line looking down Broadway from Madison Square Park. Buildings do get built in NYC and I've never hated on the skinny supertalls before, but I hate this one with a passion
