ABC7NY, which is legally responsible for its editorial, has to compete w/a Mr Beard’s…a (place where facts may not be actual facts (thanks ByteDance & YouTube)!

I don’t care what ANYONE says. I like this building. People complain about a pencil thin tower blocking the ESB like NIMBY’s complaining about the shadows casted by Billionaires Row. And I’m sure during the summer New Yorkers like that shade while in Central Park now. “Blocking the ESB” walk to the north!! If you’re a New Yorker you know where to find and see the Empire State Building. It’s not obscured as much as Philadelphia City Hall now, quit the complaining

You’re wrong, plain and simple.

I also don’t like this skyscraper. It should’ve been placed somewhere else instead of blocking the iconic views of the Empire State Building.

My UPVOTE remains.
A downvote button on this forum would only result in getting a skewed response from a ‘highly vocal’ minority: not at all representing “public opinion”. In statistics it is called “The Law of Large Numbers”.
My guess is the public opinion on this building (and market value) will be more YIMBY than NIMBY.
My up vote remains: this building is a net positive for architecture, commerce, and excitement for this city.
AI Overview excerpt -
The Law of Large Numbers (LLN) is a fundamental theorem stating that as a sample size grows, its mean will get closer and closer to the true average of the whole population. In short: more data leads to more accurate and predictable results.
How It Works
The theorem states that if you repeat an experiment independently a large number of times, the average of the results will converge to the expected value.
Probability, Statistics & Random Processes
Short term: Results can be highly erratic and stray far from the average (e.g., flipping a coin 10 times might land on heads 70% of the time
Long term: Short-term fluctuations “smooth out,” and the overall average approaches the true mathematical probability (e.g., flipping the coin 10,000 times will yield almost exactly 50% heads).
End AI quote.

Also! Your statistics overview is wrong.
You assume the opinion of one guy is a binomial distribution with p as “dislike” probability and 1-p for “like”.
Then once you take a large sample, calculate the test statistic Z, and have the mean distributing normally (LLN), you’ll get a sample mean that approaches the actual mean, yes!
But if p>0.5, then either way the results would suggest that this tower is generally disliked.
You seem to assume that p is half or less

theres this thing called trees that provide shade in the park, no need for billion dollar towers that no one lives in-- coming from someone who likes the billionaires row towers

I just don’t think we should allow anyone to build tall randomly anywhere in the city. This is not Hong Kong and we shouldn’t strive for that!

This is literally a NIMBY talking point btw.

Statistics, like physics, is an illogical, unintuitive practice. I learned that from reading Bernoulli’s Fallacy (which I don’t claim to fully understand).
And it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that Claude is the one who is doing the masquerading here
