I'm not making a value judgement about historic or new, but rather a massive new development should not have one building which does not architecturally fit.
I would feel the same way in a historic district that one new building or redesign of a building which is inconsistent with the historic district.
I see historic districts all the time such as Georgetown in D.C. or say Old Towne Alexandria. I appreciate them and would 100% support them maintaining their arch standards.
