I know, it's basically just a new tax, not even building anything new!
Hate to admit it but the Republicans might be right; we need to roll back some of these regulations. They're doing more harm than good right now

Pretty ironic that something called the National Environmental Protection Act has been used to hold up a plan that would reduce emissions and help the environment for YEARS

True, but because of the larger velocity, the friction from the edges of the pool would be much higher as well, right? Hard to say which effect would dominate

Yeah for sure. A huge problem with converting most office buildings to residential is that NYC requires a window for every bedroom; shouldn't be an issue for the Flatiron bldg.
