I am unable to understand how people in Manhattan are so divided by this development. It is just a bunch of buildings.

People are mad that $4B was spent building this tacky thing instead of on improving the city for not multimillionaires.

people aren't, it's just the media.

Some people are kinda meh about the financing behind this because it used gerrymandering to get funding diverted from say Harlem, but no real conversation daily.
