Correct me if I'm wrong, but Grand Central's main hall doesn't have benches. Aren't train stations supposed to be places where people are in motion (going in or out), and not necessarily hanging around? I get waiting for a train, but there's lounges for that.

Well, not those things, obviously. It really is such a horrible intro to nyc.

So what’s the solution? Lift all the protections, let the city crumble a bit because the people who run it can’t afford to be here, wait years for it to become less desirable over it?

They do, it take police a while to respond. They put in a call to the control center which then notities police dispatch. Police dispatch then puts out a call for a unit to respond.

It has seating but only for those with tickets. There's also a food court with seating

Its more of a problem in lower cost of living areas with lower costs to buy.
In higher cost of living areas, higher home prices mean lower rates of return.
When comparing Boston vs NYC, home prices are 7% more in NYC but rents are 40% higher in NYC

One time a bored agent let me in for free. I was about to buy a metrocard and she called me over and said I’ll let you through.

Lol making sure the building meets ADA and life safety requirements is like 30% of a contemporary architect's job. I'm only kinda joking.....
The ADA details are often the first sheet on the drawing set after the title page, followed by egress path diagrams.

The character is empty like the modern American gilded soul. You can call it good. It just reminds me of rich people constructing their own cages of luxury.

Surely they have a device called a phone? You know, to call the police and say "hey I have some weirdo acting real crazy please come kick him out"?

If you keep the painting low where most of the bar is cut off, it looks like the person on the left is.playing a piano.

Update: been working through some more reference photos I took, I think I'm going to work on an illustration based from my view from Top of the Rock as my next piece.

Reply to Skateboarding park shut down by Brooklyn Bridge construction set to reopen in Lower Manhattan by wil540_
I'm surprised they're reopening and isn't being swallowed up by NYPD for more parking surrounding Police Plaza. Where are lifted pickups with Punisher decals going to go?
