Ok....

wow....
" This tower doesn't fit in with the area"
that one was laughable
" Put it downtown or somewhere else, not here"
because being near a metro station accounts for nothing these days?
Here's my beef. Instead of blocking projects like this that are so close to metro stations, How about you take that argument to the 100s of country clubs/golf courses in this city that are so huge and take up so much space but are only used by a few dozen entitled people a day ( Wilshire Country Club, Rancho Park Golf Course, and my personal favorite (hated) The Los Angeles Country Club).
Yeah we need a lot more pocket parks, but in this case, I side with the owner. Its their property, they can do what they want. And right now we need the density, especially that close to a metro station.
