We’re not alone!  Read about other communities fighting for their skies:

“The low-rise character of our neighborhood is in large part what makes Chelsea unique…The General Theological Seminary preservation plan outines a building that rises 155 feet into the air…more than twice the limit imposed by zoning.” ~ Thomas K. Duane, NYS Senator

“If, our 40 year unbroken history notwithstanding, one developer on some rationale or another is now permitted an exception, can anyone believe that henceforth every developer will not also seek his own exception?...Please, make no mistake.  The dam will be broken.” ~ Otis Pratt Pearsall, member of the NYC Art Commission and Brooklyn Heights advocate

“We hope that Sir Norman Foster’s proposed 30-story tower on top of the original Parke-Bernet Gallery will follow the path to oblivion in the parade of ill-conceived towers designed to occupy the airspace atop above New York City’s landmarks.” ~ Peter Pennoyer, architect, and Anne Walker, architectural historian

“Skyline At Risk… The proponents for inappropriate development now are not the major real estate firms, but rather respected non-profits who see an opportunity to generate coveted funds for their religious, educational, health and social programs.” ~ CIVITAS
