There will be no huge height reduction. It’s fine to be NIMBY. However, you don’t get to invalidate other NIMBY concerns when they don’t think something should be built because its “too tall”, or some other such nonsense. What’s valid for you is valid for others.

I also don't care that much and am always in favor of new development. I already think One Seaport looks awkward but I prob just hate what an eyesore it is due to being abandoned.

Maybe you should just move. Problem solved. By the way, this isn’t some new proposal. What’s allowed to be built on this site was settled years ago. More than enough tine for anyone who objects to get away.
