Towers, yes, but at the base, no. I was referring to the base. Narrows breaks in the streetwall (unless properly fenced) can become havens for crime. They also break up the continuity of the pedestrian experience.
A related thing that floors me is when people complain about the sides of buildings being blank along an interior lot line adjacent to a vacant lot. They then make developers spend lots of money to pretty them up, when the whole point is that one day there will be a building next door that will screen the view.
