The only exception I might grant is the Sheldon Chumir supervised consumption site. That one seems like it might have been a bit of a disaster.
Personally I think The Bow sucks specifically because it unbalances the skyline, but I don't recall anyone advancing that argument, nor do I think that would've been grounds to oppose the project. And I like the height and density, I just wish is was distributed better across downtown. Like if Oxford was our tallest and the East Village more substantial, the Skyline wouldn't have so much of a cliff at the East end.

I don’t think that the histrionics are unjustified. It’s that these things are built (or undertaken, whatever the case maybe), and at that point it’s done. There’s nothing to gain from constantly complaining about it anymore, so people move along.
