It's just the same people who complain about literally all new construction that's over three or four stories and doesn't include an appropriately quaint coffee shop/artist commune.

"Why yes, a crappy donut shop and an empty lot/homeless camp-out spot at a transit-rich downtown intersection, are a much better use of land than hundreds of much needed housing units! Won't you think of the children chain link fence!"

And a face? It's like the people who see giant dicks in every skyscraper.

Though I do see the value of having a business on the corner there, even a grungy donut shop, because it brings a bit of life. And sometimes you need cheap donuts and coffee. But a bunch of apartments there are a much better use, and it's not like there aren't other cheap donut shops nearby. Anyways, I like the redesign! Wanna see some more angles though.
