Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1775820, member: 27"] If it were a troubled area where development was needed to help turn around a neighborhood, I would agree with it. That is not the case here. That land is really valuable and it directly borders the university and medical areas. I agree with [USER=1644]KellySyracuse[/USER], if they insist on building a 17 story building, it should be down the hill more, where it doesn't dominate an area and ruin the view of downtown and Onondaga Valley for many. If they are willing to drop it to half the proposed site, I would support it (provided the building isn't really ugly). Can't we have a cohesive neighborhood where the buildings look they they were built with a long term plan? Probably not. Don't worry, I have no power here. I am sure the city zoning people will rubber stamp it, though they might force some obscure features on the building to make it look East German. [/QUOTE]
