I like that there's consideration of long-term effects in planning these buildings (and forcing developers to account for their long-term impact), but the promotion of their demolition should things not work out the way they planned doesn't strike me as the most resourceful approach to the problem of their long-term viability.
There's a critical perspective on this proposal that's missing from the city-vs.-developer debate as presented in the article.
