I know, but I just wanted to state my opinion. I was okay with the plan before but when I saw the other building in the vicinity, I got a little doubtful. There was another building much more ready to be a candidate for demolition. Hopefully the new tower may have a similar feel at street level. Well, at least Grand Central is here.
