There's room for nuance here. I think it's ridiculous when a resident of a city buys a property in the downtown, CMX 4-5 core and goes ape shit over "shadows" and austere ideas about colonial scale or views being blocked from their precious balcony.

But this is a massive monolithic structure on the Schulkykill river trail that could have a very negative impact on the aesthetics and feel of this part of the city.

95% of the time I agree with your thesis, but it's not absolute, nothing is - room for nuance.
