What you guys say is the exception rather than the rule.
You probably never went to China, Chinese cities are density in its purest form.
Huge set-backs for its towers ? WTF ?? probably for a few landmark towers, ok.
But most skyscrapers are tightly packed.

Yup, lived in China in 2002.
I never said every tower in China followed the tower-in-the-park model, I was commenting on the fact that this is something that has been embraced in aspects of chinese tower construction in various cities. Yes, China has density. Yes, China has animated streets and towers that address the street. I'm not saying they don't. I am saying that I've witnessed examples where the opposite is true, and it is not a good thing.
In this case, the orientation and pedestrian realm of this building is hurting and could be significantly improved.
But to question individuals ability to have an opinion based on where they live or if they've visited said country is irrelevant. Grow up.
