Concerning City House/ Olympic, I don't thin the height is an issue. That area of downtown is going to get taller. In a couple years, a 60 story tower won't look out of place. My issue is the tacky, tacky design. Sure, there is a chance that they could pull off the design- perfect ornament, limestone, wrought iron. That isn't going to happen. Just look at LaGrange in Chicago- it's going to be poorly-proportioned concrete junk. Really, there is only one building in the past ten years that pulled off a pre-war high-rise (relatively) well, and condos in that building are going for tens of millions of dollars- a price point that won't fly not just in DT, but anywhere in L.A.
