^ Exactly! The negativity isn't sprecifically about the density, but instead the lack of transit for a very dense area. Many of us would love to see a 2nd CBD rise outside of downtown, but that CBD better have good transit access to other parts of the city. Many secondary CBDs (Canary Wharf, Downtown Brooklyn, La Défense) are very dense and haven't faced unbearable traffic congestion b/c there is plenty of transit options to reach those areas in any given direction. Lincoln Yards on the other hand can't thrive with just one frequent transitway to downtown.
