Though more plain than I'd have liked, I like that they are duplexes, and that they aren't faced in some horrible vinyl siding that's become too common with infill these days. Still, I think they could break up the facades a bit without breaking their budget. Even a few simple insets, articulations, etc...would do wonders.
Anyway, that concept for Lahser and Grand River is
way out of scale for the area. It'd be decades off, anyway, before something like that could even be considered out there, probably. But I don't even want them dreaming about something like that out there.
