It being boxed-in like you describe is exactly why breaking up this monolith is such a significant opportunity.

What about this design is not considerate of pedestrians and doesn't fit with good urban principles?

Disclaimer because trying to have a good conversation online sucks: I'm not trying to suggest...

Of course, the real solution to the problem of future projects getting in the way of the view is to build two more identical buildings west to the corner of Hudson.

That's what I was thinking. It's not like he's plopping this thing right between two lots that are prime for mid-rise development with the intention of fighting anything getting in the way of his...

Madrid has started implementing something they call "superblocks," where squares of 9 blocks are permanently closed to through traffic and the roads within prioritize pedestrian and cycling traffic....

I have some comments about the threat of Amazon to local economies.

I do worry sometimes about the negative economic effects of ecommerce, and Amazon in particular with how much control of online...

There's an aerial photo of the lot in the gallery. It's right about in the middle of the block and there are existing buildings between it and both corners, so it's not even possible for them to have...

It's not. It's certainly plausible. I don't think "visual distance" is terribly important though. Anywhere in the center of the dash is going to be close enough to see. What matters more is whether...

Often what I'm most interested in seeing on OKCTalk is the latest photos of development projects. And I don't always keep up with things as they happen. I may not have time to come here and catch up...

Based on the articles above, the project is supposed to be prioritized so that the repairs and restoration are paid for before any major improvements. Whether that actually happens or not may be...

My main point is exactly that if $260 million is more than the jail should cost then no one should buy the argument for that jail at that cost. As best as I can figure, your argument is that $260...

That depends on the value the $30 million provides. Of course no one would want to spend $30 million more to get the exact same thing, but a renovated abysmally-designed jail building is not the same...

It's not entirely clear what your argument is on building a new jail. You've been adamant that you disagree with building a new jail, but what you said above implies that you aren't opposed to a new...

This building needs to be at least 50 floors or they shouldn't build it.

I don't know much about how loading docks operate, but I can imagine it's possible a semi would have to stop in the street in front of the docks, then reverse to back the trailer into a bay. If...

If you hear ringing in your ears after it stops, it very well may be damaging your hearing. There are a lot of different causes of tinnitus (hearing ringing in your ears), but when it happens right...

Generally, if you're on private property taking a photo of private property, you must have a property release. A property release is like a model release. It's a legal agreement between you and...

You know that's not what it looks like in person, right? OKC's skyline can look like that in a photo too.

I agree. I’d love to see a better-lit skyline, as long as it's not colorful.

Thanks for proving my point. You got "argument" wrong.

No kidding. Unfortunately, some people can't tell the difference between a talking point and an argument. I've observed that my generation is generally not skilled at reasoning.

I'm 25 years old. I work at a Silicon Valley company and regularly travel to San Francisco for work.

What if we pretend that the one occurrence of the word "blinding" in my post isn't there, just for the sake of argument? Would you have a response to any of my other comments, or are you content to...

If iconic buildings are like those in the photos posted by PluPan, I think I hate iconic buildings. What is people's obsession with obnoxious blinding lights about? Why does that keep coming up in...
