OrangeTV: Sherman Lofts Building Is Butt Ugly

I do have to agree with Mary (Souza) here that that that huge fake brick walled condo on Sherman Ave (Sherman Lofts) is 10 times fugly and then some. I can’t figure out for the life of me why they couldn’t have simply put some windows in the design, it would have made all the difference in the world. Maybe we can get a nice mural or something on that eyesore. Hrmpf. Like I’ve always said, the LCDC can go crazy with my tax money, whatever, I don’t care - as long as the result is tasteful and adds something eye-pleasing to the skyline. That ugly, boxy faux brick box certainly does not. Can anyone explain to me what were they thinking? Similarly, the prison-like new CDA Press Building has not a single window in its thick cement walls. My friend who works there in the circulation dept says that Hagacorp designed it that way to avoid the “distraction” that a window might provide to the worker drones. Sheesh.
