At least with the ESB, you’re getting a building that one can actually look at and admire. Modern architects appear to get their architecture degree with a minor in fugliness.

Looking at buildings in Europe compared to here is just sad.

It’s also interesting how new homes cost what they do.

Also a sturdy building meant to resist plane strikes.

I grew up in a NYC suburb. When I was a big girl of 5, my dad took me up in the elevator of the tallest building in NYC: The Empire State Building. I’ll never forget how scary high that building was or the amazing elevator ride.

Since then, I’ve been in Trump Tower, at least as far up as the elevator can take shoppers in their amazing stores on the first several stories. No-one but the uber wealthy can afford to shop there. And BTW, Trump most assuredly did NOT overvalue that building.
