The following is a more appropriate proposal for this site:
- 4 stories tall (max)
- Vinyl Siding exterior
- At least 50% of available units are affordable housing
We need to protect the future of our fair city and not allow developers to build monstrous eyesores that are detrimental to our lives.

Guys, guys, guys. You're missing the most important point in opposition to this monstrosity. You see, adjacency is not planning. So, just because there's a 20 storey building next door, does not dictate that we can build another tall building. And 4 storeys? I'm sorry, but that is too tall. That is out of character with the single storey glass bus stops on the road immediate to this intersection.
More important than current adjacent developments is historical zoning. Here, a proposal consistent with the historical zoning in the area-- and by historical, I mean Jurassic period but post Continental Drift-- would be a 1 storey mud hut.
