Evidently, Mr. St. John isn't familiar with the concept of walking several dozen feet to the west.

The statements from some of those people regarding shadows are so idiotic. You would think New York was nothing but sun a bliss for 365 days of the year. But Central Park is always a lively place, the reason being that "normal" people (the vast majority who visit the park) don't give a shit about shadows.

That statement doesn't bode well for the 1550 ft height, but at the same time, Barnett
could have built even higher than that. But regardless, he isn't gonna win those people over with a smaller tower. The height could be cut in half, and they'd still be griping about it being too big. I wish he would have asked those people who are so adverse to skyscrapers (and the rich) when they would be leaving Manhattan.
