And that's exactly what the Hudson Yards initiative is for Manhattan, the rezoning of Long Island City and Downtown Brooklyn are other examples. You have your head a hundred years into the future, but who's to say today's practice of corporations in office buildings will even be the same? In other words, your obsession over building taller is pointless. Nobody builds offices towers higher than the WTC anymore.
