SALT actually doesn't bother me because at least it's being built in the middle of a cluster of midrises and highrises. While I think a taller project would've been great next to Marina Heights, SALT is still a nice transition between HFL and MH, and it's almost like an infill site - I feel it would've been a tough parcel to sell once MH is complete. At least, with this and Marriott AC, HFL will be entirely built out which is pretty impressive.

But, over on the "coasts" of the lake, the lack of height is more frustrating. The Jefferson at Playa Del Norte, for example - it's the last parcel (or one of the last) on that corner of the lake so it would've been nice to have crammed as many residential units as possible into a decent-sized tower. And, aesthetically speaking, Having all 3 developments (Jefferson, Northshore and Grigio) all at the same height looks rather lame. A 12-14 story bookend would've looked much better and given the lake some balance.

And, two random 80' apartments at SouthBank will just look ridiculous IMO.
