Hell, state however you feel, no need to fear giving an unpopular opinion.
Now in this case, you'd be undeniably and unequivocally wrong, but you'll come to see that someday. The facade will be complete. The crane gone. You'll be walking up Sixth Ave and this impossible stack of futuristic mansions will appear like a waterfall in some magical hidden valley. Oh yes, it'll happen. And--in what will become a regular sight in the ten blocks that surround this tower--you'll stop walking, you're neck will arch backwards, and the muscles holding your jaw closed will relax unconsciously. And then you'll see it. The mind-twisting engineering. The audacity and optimism of it. The utter beauty of all that bronze and glass and terra cotta. And you'll shake your head and start to laugh...
I can already see it in my head so I don't get to have that moment. I'm jealous of you.
