Journalism still gets stuff wrong (IE yimby articles).

Reading the entire kerfuffle above I came away with my favorite comment. 
I think that remark could be used as the lexical working definition of ‘FASCISM’.

“One of the most talk-about condo tower in Manhattan” … this type of popularity/notoriety may become a new form of “branding” that will likely be very effective in terms of marketing the property.
I remain a big fan: the design, the height, the skinny factor, the controversial placement, that metallic facade, etc - one truly exciting project. IMHO
