The economic hardship case is something I considered. The tower had supposedly lost some of the sf, but if they were allowed to "bulk it up" at the top, that would make up for it. However, if the design were altered to a point (city planning guidelines were
very specific on demensions) that it doesn't create the peak that the original does, and with all of the taller towers rising nearby, maybe there is a slim, though unlikely chance that could happen. I wouldn't count on that, and I would definitely rule out restarting the approvals process. Maybe Bloomberg will grant a "pardon" on the way out

Imagine that view, even as the towers are under construction. Cranes everywhere...
