I doubt that they'll be able to make this one stick, but it will be interesting to see if it ever gets to court. I can't for the life of me imagine that a half-built (or, perhaps, by then, fully-built) tower will be taken down again. I personally would be in favour of that, but the battle for this one was lost under the two previous administrations.
