seems a little late (nee safe) to be chiming in with the harsh words now, dr. no ... seeing as most people just want them to get on with it - whatever it may be.
but even though about two thirds of people polled were "ok" with the current plans, over half of them wouldn't want to work on the upper floors of any of the high rises on the site.
the juxtaposition of the project in its various costumes is incredible. it looks exactly like the much maligned bbb scheme.
