Picture a luxury condo building at least 2x the size of all the rest, it will dominate all views of the city and eat up sorely needed public park space. This is a terrible thing for the city.

The lot it's on has always been zoned for development. It is adjacent to the park but not legally part of it. If Fane doesn't get built there, something else will.

As for the views, they could've said the same about the Superman building when it was built, and the Turk's Head before that. It's a valid reason to make sure the design is as aesthetically sound as possible, but not to kill the project outright.
