If they want to reduce shadows, they need to mandate taller, thinner towers. Shorter, bulkier towers create more shadows than taller, thinner ones.

But we all know this has nothing to do with shadows. It's just a NIMBY tactic. They want no development. They tried landmarking, downzoning, height limits, special districts, and when the city doesn't go for those options, time to get creative/desperate.

Central Park is heavily wooded, and the trees are the primary source of park shadows. If shadows are really some huge problem for the park, then obviously we need to cut down all the trees...
