Tall buildings scary 👻

It’s replacing an empty lot, and 17 stories isn’t even that tall. That neighborhood is getting taller. it includes retail, affordable housing and a rec center and looks good. But beyond all that more housing is good

Mid-rises are good for neighborhoods; density is good for neighborhoods, 17-story buildings are not - look at the data. High rises are not environmentally or neighborhood friendly. This developer can put just as many units ($$$$) over multiple mid-rise buildings on that same lot. This will look ridiculous, bring in disconnected residents in that area which desperately needs engaged residents. The area is not getting taller, they allowed some taller buildings next to the freeway and abutting Liberty Science Center. But 17 stories in this quaint historic area is absurd.
