^^^Except for the fact that he gives too little respect to the Build, Inc proposal and maybe too much to Kenwood/Boston Props, I pretty much agree with Mr. King on this one (and I'm quite shocked by that fact).

Looking only at the Giants proposal, I really like the smaller/tighter street grid and the dissimilarity among the buildings so that they look like they were not "planned" in the sense that they very definitely are. It reminds me almost of a modernistic version of the New Orleans French Quarter--a tight, vibrant, busy little enclave within a larger city. And King is right--the park does work very well here.
