Apparently tech employees are allergic to elevators, they'd rather ride a scooter down a 1200' long hallway  |
To be fair, riding a scooter at a high speed through an office environment does sound like a lot more fun than being stuck in an elevator.
I am not the biggest fan of these proposed "groundscrapers", but as long as they are done right, with proper integration to the new street grid, easy access for pedestrians, and an engaging ground floor, I think they will do just fine.
Just don't make it a city version of the Allstate HQ in Northbrook.
