Exactly.
I think the NV is ugly. I don't mind the tiles, but the metal panels just look so very cheap, similar-ish to Benson Tower... but NV wasn't built at a spot that demands attention the way The Yard was. NV is more or less tucked away in the northern Pearl, whereas The Yard is basically a gateway to the east side of the city right in the heart of the city on Burnside - and, by "gateway," I mean an architectural middle finger. Granted, NV has an offensive name, but even there, The Yard one-upped the offensiveness by creating poor-floors and rich-floors, because the new age Thurston Howells with out of state plates shouldn't have to mingle with the non-rich. The poor floors even have less windows, by design, for identical floorplans.
NV is ugly, but The Yard is offensive.
