Oh my, stunning view. I would pay a decent amount to have that view from my living room, frankly.

I agree with your observation, but I don't think that necessarily renders double-digit height out of the question for the many empty parcels still scattered around Midtown. Do I think very much of it will be provided/planned in the next 3-5 years though, no, probably not. I'd really like to see Hammer & Nail converted and saved. The developer might and should consider that over costly demo.
