I show my view so much on my stories, I thought I’d share more about it. Particularly since I’ve read a few articles recently about how much New Yorkers hate 432 Park Avenue. See the tall skinny building next to the Chrysler? That’s it. We call it the Cigarette building. I’ve also heard it called the Middle Finger. That’s because it’s the tallest residential tower in the Western Hemisphere, with no public viewing space. Just a bunch of billionaires perched above the rest of us plebeians. One apartment was sold for $88 million dollars. I’ve hated that building ever since I watched it go up a few years ago. Until then, the Chrysler building stood alone, it’s elegant design jutting out above all the other skyscrapers. See that even taller building on the left? It’s not actually taller but it looks that way from my perspective. That’s One Vanderbilt. It’s new too. The lights on the spire just turned on recently and I like it. It’s a nice addition. But when 432 went up, I got madder and madder the taller it got. When it passed the Chrysler, I thought for sure they were going to build something fancy on top. At least a spire! But nope. They just ended on a square roof and sold each apartment for obscene amounts of money. Like they cared more about the views from inside than what it looked like to New Yorkers from the outside. In the articles about 432, they talk about how unhappy the billionaires are who live there because the ridiculous height makes it prone to leaks, swaying, and elevator breakdowns. They also talk about the wind noisily howling through it. I remember when I first moved into my building. It was new and I was one of the first occupants. It’s only 16 floors, but the wind was unbearably loud. I wasn’t sure I could live like that. But over time, as more people moved in and filled it with furniture, the whole structure settled and the howling stopped. It was like the building became permanent and the wind gave up. I wonder if a building with 85 floors will ever settle. I bet the billionaires who own apartments have permanent residences elsewhere and NYC is not really where they call home. Maybe the wind knows that and won’t ever leave them alone. #nyc
