I think in the end, total volume and frequency is key, with frequency being ideal. In other words, I'd rather have fifteen 300-400 ft high rises than one big super tall. Chock full of units with a good street interface. Like with the stuff going on in the West Loop. Might add more to the city and its aesthetics overtime versus Tribune. Eh... I'm trying to rationalize the loss. Part of the grieving process, as an old Chinese man hopped up on ether on the Number 7 train once told me.
