While I wholeheartedly agree that we walked away with a much more visually appealing complex from top to bottom, I have a somewhat strange reason for quietly musing on still having the old twins. It would be very cool, especially with Hudson Yards and 57th coming up so quick, to have supertalls from every major era of skyscraper construction on our skyline. From the Deco masterpieces to the international-style 60s WTC to the contemporary towers of today.
That being said, I'm going to go back to sitting back and being obscenely pleased with the amount of towers and sheer transformation of the skyline happening before our eyes.
