Isn’t the fact that the developer is interested in building so tall the strongest bit of evidence that there is, indeed, some basis for something so tall? If you’re interested in making the argument that the harm it could do to the neighborhood is great enough that it overwhelms the benefits, that’s fine, make that argument. But it is very costly to build this high - so if the developer is proposing such a development, that’s a sign that there’s really intense demand in this area.
