Visited NYC this past weekend and saw multiple buildings that were at least 30-40 stories high, but the base wasn’t finished yet. Why do you keep building upwards and finishing windows instead of finishing the bottom and then doing the same?

Perhaps a large part of what you are describing as “not finished” is a pedestrian protective scaffolding used to prevent pieces of facade from killing anyone when it falls off the buildings. A lot of buildings’ facades need to be brought up to code (read: expensive) and until they they get fined (I think) but definitely have to construct those pathway things so people don’t get hurt (read: less expensive)
