I've been watching the building go up from 20th and Tenth, nice job.

Is the portion of the High Line that runs through the building going to be a public space (or a POPS)?

How does it feel to be just under the 800ft line? Does article make you wish you could have added just a few more floors? ;)

In all seriousness - I've never been to nyc (never had a reason to I guess). I just don't comprehend the demand to build up. Is there really that much demand? Like at what density level does other infrastructure become a bottleneck (transit/power/water/food)?

>Is there really that much demand?

Sure, in any city with lots of people and limited land, island cities especially. Manhattan is one, Hong Kong another.

>Like at what density level does other infrastructure become a bottleneck (transit/power/water/food)?

Good question, would be interested to see studies on this too.

The higher you go, the quieter it gets :)
