i love the variety of architecture. every other big city has a mixture of bold architecture that STANDS OUT and is very unique. i've lived in Miami. I've lived in San Francisco. Visited New York MANY times. this is normal stuff to them. I'm not sure why the Michigan motive is to stay stuck in a time-warp or keep a mentality of opposing anything different than the "norm".... Its nice to have something different than just historic-looking all of the time.

Completely agree. I don't know what everyone is bitching about. I think the renderings look great. I can't wait to see it built.

Very much agree that diversity and mix of old/new is best. Where I differ is that I don't think the current 'barcode' designs are that good. There aren't enough windows, frankly. I think the priority was the 'look' over livability. But of course its not my money.
