I also think if you are going to build a wall of buildings, you need to do so block by block and not in clumps like this in one part of town and like the Ashton in another. It looks awkward and in our case, takes something away from each building. I'll concede that the two here complement each other, but that's all. A street with sidewalks seperation, though not possible at this location, would have looked much better and still provided density. |
Density has to start somewhere. New York's density probably started in "clumps" as well.
