Rentals are great, Density is great. But, I have concern that this project will be another entry in the Bad Architecture Tour™ the city can host in the future, but instead of venting to deaf ears, I have instead made this image.

Yes, this is an oversimplification, but most regular people on the street will only see what's in the picture, undignified architecture.
