Very interesting, thanks! It is easy to understand how such projects were being proposed for this prominent site and it is easy to see how many people mayhave seen them as an improvement over what used to be there. Of course I am happy that those concrete commieblocks didn't end up being built there, as they would still be there.

What we have today (towers and the park) are really nice. I guess we got lucky with things taking so long and those people delaying development for long enough.

Same goes with the shoreline freeway protests.
