To be fair, what you're dismissing as "BS" is the kind of urban-planning considerations deployed throughout the western world nowadays. I'm not saying I agree with Jennifer Watts on this in particular, but she didn't invent the term "human scale."
See here.
I know that on this forum there are a handful of people who think bigger is always better, and modern cities should be all about enormous, monolithic, imposing skylines and shadowy skyscraper canyons, but that's not how most people want to live, in this or any city.
Even skyscraper enthusiasts should be able to appreciate the nuances of urban planning. And not just assume that people are NIMBY's because they want to pause and consider the implications of development projects.
