There can't be that many historic buildings in a city that burned to the ground in 1906, yet somehow we have historic auto-body shops, historic bars, historic music halls converted to comedy clubs, historic crab restaurants...

Kind of a waste of such a nice street grid for such low density housing.

Waste of a lovely bayside location. Imagine how much better that water view would look contrasted against modern glass and steel skyscrapers: https://s3.amazonaws.com/si-interactive/prod/ai-cio-com/wp-c....

It could even be nice with two or three story buildings.

And then people wonder why the city isn't investing in public transport.
On the other hand, why do people need to build a new, ugly modern high-rise buildings in historical parts of the city? Is there not enough of other land?
Historical parts better stay historical forever and there should be no new buildings, I think. Because no tourist will ever come to see modern, ugly concrete buildings.
