There's no opposition to the WG as far as I've heard. I know the previous design got some negative feedback due to the LED lighting that would cover the whole building but I don't think the new design has that feature.
We'll see what happens. Either way, I'll be happy to see two enormous new buildings going up simultaneously in California.
