That area has space though. There is a huge empty lot just south of the UN that’s tied up in litigation over a family feud. Maybe it can be eminently domained.

That’s basically how Atlantic City came into existence.

I’m half joking. I’d probably protest that as well unless the casino (and its proceeds) was owned by the city.

Didn’t they do this in that show billions to that empty lot near the UN?

That would be a massive foundation to work on. I probably think that's one of the few massive empty lots in midtown these days no??
