be thankful...

I just read this article. It makes me very thankful that because my neighborhood is a "landmark district" I will never lose my unobstructed views. Imagine living in a bright, sunfilled apartment, only to have a big building go up and take that away. Ugh. Here is the view from my bedroom, taken in a wild raging snowstorm last winter. On most days you can see the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge and, once upon a time, the twin towers of the World Trade Center.
