If his village is so damn important, why doesn't he just put it on top of the skyscraper like that ridiculous thing is Singapore: then, no blocked light for anyone, and the towers can be slenderer and along Broad and Wash like they should be.

I really think Blatstein may be losing it. He's got his finger in a half dozen mega projects between Philly and AC, all potentially grotesquely gaudy, and yet he can't seem to get going on any one of them. It's like he can't focus, and in odd moments when he can, he comes up with something so awful and tone-deaf, you have to wonder what state of mind he's in.
