Guess you never went to engineering school. I didn't either but I've been around reality a while. These buildings were not designed to carry a massive side load like those cables simply attached to their middles. Cables are always terminated at the ground on an angle so the tower load is mostly vertical, not sideways. And it would need to be far higher than the 25th floor, it needs 230 ft clearance in the middle, and the cables sag.

Not to mention these are private properties that might not take kindly to your brilliant idea.

D_Empire412 idea is completely feasible. I had my little cousin test it in Minecraft. No problems whatsoever, so definitely something that could be applied in real life.

Edit: I'm loving the fact the copy of this thread over at r/nycrail is being lambasted.
