Would be great to get something like that at 79th/State. I think what we get will be more lowrise though - the Carter Temple hasn't said how many units they are targeting.

The scale is actually great. In terms of a lower income housing building, it could look much worse. The right hand side is actually okay. It would be nice to see all parts of town get more buildings of this scale no matter what the income requirement to live there is (of all sorts of designs).
