I don't care if the worst side faces the back. No side should look like crap, since every side will be in the line of someone's view.
Is the front view better? I don't think so. The very least they could have done was the first floor or two in retail for at least some street appeal.

You make a very good point, regarding the pool deck. It looks 'neat' from the renderings' birds-eye views, but wont look like much more than a protruding concrete slab from below. The only hope at this point is if the lower half renderings are preliminary and design changes are forthcoming. Street-level retail would be great.
