Quit your penis envy, boys.

Which is better for Center City, a 100-story tower in a superblock set back 20 feet from the nearest street? Or a 10-story building built to the lot line with shops along the ground floor and lots of pedestrian traffic? Which feels lively? Which feels desolate? Which feels like the Center City you would want to live in?
