I'd bet the people that already live in the Strip probably enjoy their views as they are. I know from our office at 24th and Smallman I can see downtown pretty nicely from one corner of the second floor. And if you go to the top of the 3 or 4 story parking garage across the street the views are completely unobstructed. Obviously I haven't been up there but I'm sure the view from the top of the Lofts is that much better. Putting up a development that messes with that could have some push back. (Though really there isn't much they could do besides bitch... and there aren't that many people living there now so I doubt you would hear much from them.)
My point is, there really isn't anything in the strip that is very tall, currently, so I wonder what the reaction to a more urban style proposal would be.
