The previous design was a lot nicer. More dumbing down for Adelaide

Congrats to indaily for doing their best impression of AdelaideNow trying to stir up the crazies. Including a photo of the 1914 (but not heritage listed and unused) bar and calling it 'the site' isn't designed to be provocative at all. Classic, look at us replacing this cute little pub with a monstrous tower tactic:

As the actual address might suggest, 108-112A isn't one parcel of land - it's clearly 4 from the application. The largest part of the site is crumbling warehouse and this stunning bit of architecture below:

Maybe in an ideal world the frontage of the pub would be retained for some interest but that entire block is atrocious. I live nearby and this is not a very 'active' part of the city despite being in the 'busy' part of the CBD.
