But at the same time, one has to understand that these services are needed and they need to be housed somewhere. If anything the designs are too large for the area and it's surroundings. A series of smaller headquarters in each district Downtown would and could work just as well as centralizing the facility. The only need to house a central tower that large is for the bureaucratic heads. And again having them in one of the existing towers Downtown could do the job.
On the design factor, it actually works for its location. Keep in mind of what's across Main Street (Caltrans)and how that building is situated and how it's designed and what is on the edge of Spring Street on the opposite side(LA Times) and how that building mirrors that street wall. The only problem is that it looks too tall and the very edge that should be open to City Hall is blocked off.
