To the particularly uninformed nasty emailer who sounds like a Solo plant, those who attend the meetings include retirees who care about the neighborhood. May you be fortunate enough to become one of them and have respect for those whose views differ from yours.
But the majority of us who attend the meetings are neither old, nor anti-capitalist, nor opposed to tall buildings. Unfortunately, the completely out of proportion, environmentally unsound, and poorly conceived plan (if you chose to call it that) is neither in the economic best interests of the community, considerate of community needs, the importance of the UN, or mindful of the foolishness of creating a bank of exposed highly populated tall buildings with no shelter or interference on the East Side. Nor will scaling back the size of the buildings, requiring a school for the new inhabitants to attend, park space and providing access for traffic both vehicular and pedestrian be inconsistent with a large project of attractive, reasonably tall and extremely profitable new buildings. In fact, it would provide just the opposite -- enhanced value to all the buildings and businesses in the community.
PS Maybe you ought to take the time out from your important schedule to contribute constructive thoughts to the process rather than being yet another arrogant arm-chair pundit.
