I agree with this.
And a lot of them aren't really that skinny. They add a new dynamic. It definitely gives the city a more futuristic look especially given the height.
I still think Lower Manhattan has the best skyline but at the same time, DoBro is catching up. It has its unique look to it. Good symmetry for now.
NYC essentially has 6 skylines.
1) DoBro
2) Lower Manhattan
3) Midtown
4) LIC (Long Island City)
5) The rogue province of Jersey City
6) The Territory of Miami (the invasion has begun already via New Yorkers)
The way things are going, LIC will eventually fuse with DoBro along the East River.
IMO, Hudson Yards has added the most in terms of dynamics and aesthetics. It really depending on the angle is overpowering but in a unique way, and we still have Phase II to go along with all the proxy developments that will spur.
