Is that really important? But no, I wouldn't mind and in fact would welcome the increase in retail and vitality a building like that would bring. If I owned my house, if also welcome the increase in value I'd get.

If that is actually true, then great, have it built in your neighborhood.

lol. I don't know it's repulsive to the point of vomiting, but it's an ugly building nonetheless.

Is there an animated GIF for stupidity? Mostly the building looks stupid to me. Awkward and plain dumb.

Isn’t it ironic that that’s the specific gif you chose to express your reaction.

Yes, it's more my take on the building. The building is ridiculously stupid.

I don't believe it's ironic. He doesn't like the building, and thinks its design is equivalent of vomit.

IMO the Rndsquare proposal's too large for Inglewood, but it's not an abomination. I like the exposed wood.

Seems you missed the point. Think about it further.

There was no point to his post except to make everyone scratch their head for a while for nothing.

Exactly why I asked him to explain. I doubt he’ll have an explanation.

This might be a more appropriate scale

That’s the best way to describe it. You don’t need a bunch of obtuse angles to make an interesting building.
