Not 100% against view cones, but they are far far too low and there are also too many.

The ironic thing is there is more than one direction to look.

We are going to sacrifice the impact this tower would have on enhancing views looking from the north towards the city and from the east / west down the Georgia canyon to protect a view from the south of suburban sprawl.
You hit the nail on the head, Metro!! The view cone thing is pedantic, silly, destructive, and thought up and implemented by a bunch of village mentality greenie-weenies.
