Some say the tallest building in the US is One WTC, but it's clearly Central Park Tower. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/...

I find the content of the article, irregardless if it comes to fruition, exciting. One WTC was a missed opportunity to take back the crown of the tallest skyscraper, at least within the US (the Willis Tower is taller too).

It would be cool if they took back the title of the tallest in the world, but at a minimum, it looks like there's a chance they'll take it from NY by every measure. I find that to be significant.

This is a good example of how we're failing as humanity. It continues to puzzle me how we seem to still be stuck at dick measuring contests. Not only that, but dick measuring contests that burn resources.


in that sense it is funny how all "tallest builings in europe" are in russia.
