Calling the design blight on the lakefront is a bit extreme I would say.
Anyway, if Tribune East is built as designed then all sins will be washed.

The design barely works as a duo; a single one of these will look very awkward. I think there's a reason they're not showing dead-on N or S elevations of either tower -- they don't look like they're ascending; rather, disintegrating.
