The roof complaints may be a stretch, but there's some merit. File this under, strive for better design. We could argue about blank street walls, beige facades, parking entrances but is it inappropriate to request the roof be a 5th facade? This was encouraged in my academic and professional experience, so I wouldn't consider this insulting if the neighbors ask for screening and reorganization of mechanical equipment.

Higher quality design* is about the only thing I'd support when it comes to NIMBYism. I don't agree with other arguments because density and height has a place in one of the largest cities in America and should be as of right or have easier mechanisms and processes for approval.

* Style is not the same as quality design
