I get claustrophobic looking at this.

One of my first thoughts too is how long it will be before someone jumps?

It doen’t “match” any buildings around it and sticks out like a sore thumb

On a positive note, it is nice to see positive growth within a neighborhood.

it's actually a whole new neighborhood where there was nothing before, other than the train yard

The Vessel is only 1 part of Hudson Yards. It is an art piece that is also functional and is supposed to stand out but does not stand alone among the 'clutter'. Hudson Yards is a vast project with office buildings, residences (not that I can afford to live there) shopping and restaurants.

You can grab a burger from Shake Shack while perusing diamonds at Tiffany's - maybe not at the same time.

It is the largest private real estate development in the US by square footage

I plan to visit and free tickets are limited to 700 per day

As for people jumping off - there is always a chance of that happening anywhere.

I’ve been looking forward to this being finished for the past 10 years — it’s sensational! I’m going next month to see it in person. You can eat in restaurants with a window view feet from the walkways.

It was created as interactive art; you cannot help but interact with people across the way because you become a part of their experience in it.

I was was born and raised in NYC, and used to take my son to Chelsea Yards right next door to rollerblade and rock climb. It’s a great vibrant area that does NYC proud.

This new structure in NYC gives me the creeps. Apparently it's only purpose is to give the public a place where they can walk up and down and get a great view.

I live in fear of heights and hate glass elevators and stairways and escalators with glass sides. I'd never make it up to the first level. I imagine there are many people like me. Do you hate high places? Would you visit this place?

I saw this on TV the other day, and yes I would visit.

It is so interesting and cool looking and very different and unique. However, I would not go there because I have a fear of heights.......I would go look at it, but I wouldn't go up in it.......It is a beautiful, unique building, or sculture,etc...
