Even if they did have that power, which I'm not buying, they would have a reason for doing so. Even if it was something like casting shadows on the Alamo, but I'm sure that's not the case. It had everything to do with what the developer realistically believed was feasible in order build this thing in the first place.
The review commission certainly asked them to be more considerate of the area. The old design was certainly not great. Those fins were cartoon like. The new design is not great. The east side of the building kind of reminds me a little of the Staybridge. Hopefully it will make people look past the La Quinta and Residence Inn doldrums on that side of downtown.
