Maybe zoning laws are bad, but I'm looking out of my window and see a mall that was built in place of a big square of grass where people would have picnics and sunbathe at summer in my childhood. The wind was also wonderful, and you could see all the way till the court building behind it from me (new, but not as ugly), and the ship-like Soviet enormous building on the side of it made the whole place beautiful. Now it's just asphalt and that huge ugly mall in place of grass. Looks depressive and too expensive.
And right before my window there's a two-story (almost 1.5) Soviet abandoned (some disagreement between ministry of defense that owned it in Soviet times and someone they illegally sold it to, there was some deadlock in deciding who owns it) cinema building, apparently the legal problems have been resolved and instead of it I might behold a buttfuck-ugly 5-story building instead soon. I'm certain that if that happens, a few trees and grass there would too vanish as if they never existed.
Moderation is gold, and all that.
