Big Deal.The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, considered a world authority on super sized skyscrapers, announced at simultaneous news conferences in New York and Chicago, that it considers the new Freedom Tower the tallest building in America, beating out the previous record holder, the Willis Tower in Chicago. Bullshit. That's only because they have decided to count the spire on top of the Freedom Tower as part of its height. Couldn't agree less. That's merely a decorative metal addition that shouldn't be included in the final tally. What should count is space which people can occupy. In which case the 110-story Willis Tower still beats out the 104-story Freedom Tower by six stories. So, if I were you Chicago, I would say "screw you" to the Council and continue to claim having the tallest building in America,because you do.
