Here’s how NYC’s skyline is going to change

Give a high-five to the Super Talls — the city’s next generation of cloudbusting towers, shown here as a thundering herd.

Love them or hate them, the nine giants in this composite created for The Post by development-happy Web site New York YIMBY (Yes In My Back Yard) are all under construction. Not included: projects that reached their full height last year or are still at the demolition stage. Some are already lifting their heads visibly skyward. Others are rarin’ to rise from foundations.

They aren’t mere proposals, but fully financed done deals — an illustration of how New York City has gone skyscraper-mad. All are at least 900 feet high; six will stand 1,000 feet and up. By comparison, One World Trade Center is 1,776 feet tall including the mast (1,368-foot roof height); the Empire State Building, 1,454 feet to the top of spire; One Bryant Park, 1,200 feet; and the Chrysler Building, 1,046 feet.

Flying to New Zealand from the US is a breeze. Non-stop flights to Auckland are available from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Honolulu. Starting in December 2015, Air New Zealand will launch non-stop service from Houston!The average flight time is 12 hours, about the same time it takes to get to Europe from the West Coast. Hop on a plane around 9:30pm, have dinner, some New Zealand wine, and watch a movie before you fall asleep. Wake up to the smell of breakfast being served. And you’re here in New Zealand. Sounds like it time to make plans before the Sun gets shut out.

You're from New Zealand?

No. Just the more I read about it and see the more I think I'd like it there. I must have an ocean nearby, criteria number one.

My attitude on the disappearing skylines.

The San Francisco sky is rapidly disappearing...
