I agree, I love height as much as anyone here but street interaction is key to creating a true urban center as it helps create walkability.

Take this image from "Denver Infill," sure these are nice additions in terms of adding more living space and a somewhat urban feel in Denver but notice the lack of street interaction, really no shops, no restaurants, etc visible down the entire block, it creates a dead space.
