I live right in that area. When we went to the neighborhood meetings about riverpoint and 150 n riverside there were a lot of comments and complaints about the shadows. The developers did a whole shadow study for everyone for the next meeting.

People who hate shadows and darkness are going to be so pissed! Perhaps more people will move to Arizona! Skycrapers are so wonderfully evil.
