	<description><![CDATA[When Penn station was first built, it was an inter-city transportation hub. You came in from out of town by train, and you stayed at a hotel near the station. Even in the 90s, you could see how it was supposed to work. There was a reason the airlines had a ticket hub in the lobby of the hotel based on the evolution of inter-city transit from rail to air. Now, Penn station is a commuter hub, even if it does have an Acela station, and the area needs a much higher office density to take advantage of it. If you think of the city as a working, living entity, the area is vastly underused, almost depleted. It's like routing one's aorta through one's pinkies. Moving the station west, and putting in a few new BIG buildings would get the density up in a hurry, rather than waiting ages for the process. As for the skyline, the ESB went up 70 years ago. It's high time we started moving forward again.<br />
<br />
Park 51 sounds like a great idea, if they can get the money. I'm not a big fan of religion, but I like to see lots of different churches if I have to see any at all. It's a good way of reminding people what churches are.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[My favorite thing about the rendering of 15 Penn viewed from the Northwest (with the ESB on the left) is that you can see way off in the background the Goldman Sachs building the PCP designed for Jersey City. 15 Penn is such a clone of that building!<br />
<br />
Also, PCP is a funny acronym for an architectural firm...]]></description>
