totally agree. we can guess although we can't know what a juniors-less tower would look like --- unless maybe there is an early render or something?

also, as a non resident pedestrian you still have juniors rather than walking around a busy block made unfriendly.

what would really be funny is if juniors eventually sold and someone put up a needle-thin supertall there.
