Hopefully, if the developers are smart, they will seek input from the resident in the area. Not whether these structures should be build, but to address the very points that you raised regarding "context". My first impression on look at the proposal is that they are clearly designed to make money and only money, but, there really is the potential to offer more to the area. There has to be a middle ground a win-win that satified all, it not always possible, but, I do fault people for not searching for it.
