I think developers give us worse designs when there's forced public input. The major projects designed with heavy public input (say Time Warner Center, WTC, Riverside South, etc.) are almost always decent but forgettable.
In contrast, the projects designed independent of public input (say Hudson Yards, High Line starchitecture, Billionaires Row towers) tend to be spectacular, with a few notable failures. Higher risk, higher reward.
