The second crane could be coming soon ---

It looks like their whole Vimeo page has unfortunately been wiped – I do have the video downloaded but I don’t know if I can re-upload it anywhere without copyright issues. ---

Can’t you just upload it to the NIMBY main page and apply courtesy protocols? Or do so _here_? Or maybe when they took it down they simply deleted it. ---

I’d be fine uploading it to the forum, but it does not support video uploads. Most video platforms are stricter with copyright so I’d rather not risk getting my accounts banned. ---

The next crane could be located on the west side of the core if they follow the plan as posted half a month ago…though that shows the design with more open terraces. They gotta pour some floors beforehand though ---
