I agree...a lost opportunity for many years at least!
I wonder if Council is regretting selling Green as one piece to one company? Green reminds me of when I was in school in Los Angeles in the 1980's and their City Council did the same thing with California Plaza on Bunker Hill. It took years to finish and several big changes to the plan...including not building one tower. I hope we get a great cityscape change with Green, however, their latest version could be built anywhere USA. I hope the delay means a better product. Matching twin towers do not belong on the water front IMO.
