That is how you end up with something that is boring and 'safe' and without any personality at all -- and likely even worse, is tacky and cumbersome and behind the times before it is even built.
It all sounds good in theory, but in 50 years the safe bet is being torn down while those behind the (today's) bold works are being adored for their vision.
I just hope the design competition is about finding a great 'best of the best' design, and not to find 'the easiest to sell to the most vocal part of the NIMBY conservative public' design.
