Even if that were true, we would be talking about "a" developer in a city of developers. And you think the one developer would be the rule. Cute. But we are in fact talking about Gary Barnett, who from the beginning insisted this tower would have no spire, or "gimmick" as he referred to it. That he doesn't want a spire should come as no surprise, though the design as is needs it. It's too bad he couldn't stick with the earlier version.
But get ahold of yourself. You're talking New York City, where there is a variety of opinions on everything. There will be no agreements, "gentleman's" or otherwise, that nothing should rise higher than the Freedom Tower, just as there are no agreements that nothing should rise higher than the Sears Tower in Chicago. It just hasn't happened yet.
