There needs to be some kind of restriction or cap on the number of boxes built each year.

I say there needs to be a cap or restriction on both nasty answers to dumb posts and dumb posts.
Keep it nice, people.
Oh, Big Daddy, could you explain what buildings here in the P&C thread are ones that you do like?
Those "structural engineers" designed a tower that looks way better than ROCP 1 & 2 ever will. What's your honest opinion of the TD centre, then? Do you hate its simplicity as well, or are you just opposed to the idea of an homage (= unoriginal/unimaginative?)
Why duplicate the TD Centre? The TD centre has its merit, but for me, the simplicity goes too far - the centre is too austere – it’s devoid of verve. I like to see life and vitality in a building or complex and TD has neither - "X" will follow suit.
Most of the curtain wall apartment buildings (that’s what they really are) will be dowdy tired old buildings in twenty years and many in less.
This, in Chicago, is going on sixty years old, and it looks neither dowdy nor tired.
If anything, this is more likely to seem dowdy and tired in twenty years or less...
You can tell how much thought and care went into a building by looking at its design. How much thought went into the "X"? An architect wasn’t really required – the structural engineers could have designed this one – in fact, maybe they did.
