• These are not the normal NIMBY asking for SF homes or 3 flats… They want more density and continuation of the street wall. Whats wrong with these two items in this location? Your turn Mr. Urban Planner.

• Ak,

  I’ll confess to lacking enough detailed knowledge of the site, the proposal, the cost issues and the market to express any opinion. I realize that makes me an outlier.

• What do you mean when you say that commenters believe their opinions “trump” the developer’s and architect’s knowledge? That would make sense if people were calling on the alderman or plan commission to halt this project, but as far I can see (at least at Curbed) nobody is calling for government intervention that places opposition concerns over development insight and rights.

• Evidently the developer doesn’t see a market for more units, so why would they build them?

• Ben L,

  You’re asking us to ignore the plain language of the following comments, among others at Curbed:

  It’s a shame AMLI feels the need to arbitrarily rotate the southern building so it doesn’t properly hold the corner.

  @typeset: Came here to post the same thing, although I think you could say the same for the north building.

• I mostly agree Joe. However, I am willing to bet that this proposed site plan (see link below) would not only cost the same to build, but would be just as profitable and would actually relate to the city better. Credit to Hayward for putting this diagram together:
