What exactly are you talking about? The references were obviously to the tiresome, irrelevant class warfare tropes dominating the article. Stupid attempts at trying to be the AOC of the design world, rather than actually reviewing the complex's architectural merits. As if we didn't know that the folks working at investment banking HQ in 80 floor towers were higher earners than those working at the Dollar Tree in Youngstown, OH.
The silliest part was the praise lavished on Rock Center, when Rock Center was basically a mass-clearance of poors, back in the day when there was basically no land use process or tenants rights. Also the crying about subsidies when the sixth avenue EL was demolished and rebuilt underground due to the Rockefellers. And Rock Center was hated when first built, excoriated by critics.
