You are absolutely right. Their attitude towards constituents can cause a loss by just a few votes. They often don't realize this. Long-serving politician staffs say that their candidate often keeps winning (even where their party might be outnumbered) because they are excellent at dealing with cons...

It's called 47 Madison. It was approved by the City in June, 2017. Either Block hasn't lined up all the financing, or they are waiting for to get on a schedule for a construction company or a crane.

Sometimes I think it might be a good idea to stop allowing more large commercial buildings to be built on the Plaza. Doing that might shift construction back downtown. The trade-off for property owners is that mid-rise residential would be allowed instead to replace office buildings. The Plaza needs...
