^ To be honest, I'm the wrong guy to ask because I'm of the minority around here. I have generally been happy with the condo development boom in Chicago of late.
I've never felt that outstanding architecture makes up great cityscapes. It is collections of regular buildings, punctuated by greatly designed buildings of importance, that make great places.
I tend to subscribe to that kind of thinking.
There are some forumers around here who believe that every single building must resemble an ant humping a beetle, or else it is a blight on the cityscape. I think that kind of thinking is way misguided, and has been damaging to cities.
