Looks like they finally cleaned or replaced this cam. For a while it had a lot of stuff on the lens from either condensation or the elements. ---

> [@stache](#): > > Will it ever be finished? **Good question.** I have (an we have) been following this and many other new construction projects in NYC: so this question is a natural. I follow this podcast for answers on this type of question regarding construction budgets, and Completion Time lines. Get Reddy to Geek out….enjoy. this is a highly informative talk on ConTEC. Procore - The Power of Construction. Here is a good podcast from Procore addressing the future state of construction: particularly as applied to Construction Technology, BIM, and AI advancements in the AEC industry.

**Why so many New Yorkers hate this skyscraper is a good question.** Great Video - Thanks. This video offers a highly critical view of what I consider to be an Architectural marvel. The case for sight lines, and the ‘affordable housing’ crisis are two of the main grievances in this video. _I am still a fan; but opinions will vary - so it’s best to agree to disagree on the merits of 242 5th Avenue_. 🤔 ---
