It used to be worse. I think generally people have started becoming more warm to people who innovate and take risks. It's welcoming change imo. Tall Poppy Syndrome is something we could do without. Yeah, I fully agree with this. Mizrahi took a lot of risk with financing that eventually got him...

I like it.

It would be bizarre if they we're planning to cheap out on a hotel with their name on it but you never know from the renders.

There's plenty of buildings that are quite frankly terrible that surround Times Square, like the Marriott Marquis. They just seem less imposing because they're drowned out by billboards and the fact that New York City has a lot more density. What do you suggest then? Only allow for certain...

Eh, I think it's okay. It's definitely not going to win any awards for design but it provides some much needed density. The nature of a city that can grow organically is that you'll end up with buildings that are nicer than others.
