‘Lost City’
This is a photo of Donald with his “Television City” model. In case you did not know, he wanted to build this huge commercial and residential area in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. His plan was to have the headquarters of NBC News and different TV studios based there. The model in the photo showed a 150-story building that was meant to serve as the centerpiece of the area. It was supposed to be the tallest skyscraper in the world, but things did not go as they had planned. The project was criticized by a number of architecture critics who said that the plan was not only “woefully simplistic” but had “little connection to the varied pattern of streets” of that part of down. On top of that, people living in the area did not approve of it when Trump expanded the size of his plan. It further spiraled out of control when Mayor Ed Koch approved the plan to give tax breaks to NBC if it moved the studios there but did not grant Trump one. In the end, Trump started name-calling, which was reported by the tabloids.
