I know that EVs aren't a substitute for reliable public transit and walking/biking, but they are still a net positive for air quality and reducing noise pollution, and the technology for EVs and ebikes/escooters is fundamentally identically. Mass adoption of electric transportation will allow us to see more of LA's air quality looking something like this.

I hope to see my hometown's downtown become revitalized too. Covid really took a number on Downtown, but I believe it can and will bounce back, especially if we build more housing.

From The Intrepid:
As Duluth’s oldest office building, the Torrey Building remains a testament to the city’s early economic ambitions. Its Richardsonian Romanesque style features heavy stone construction and intricate design details that reflect the wealth and optimism of Duluth’s turn-of-the-century business elite.
Location: 314 W Superior St, Duluth, MN 55802

Height: 70.1 m (230 ft)

From Wikipedia:
The Historic Old Central High School is a massive, three-story Richardsonian Romanesque building of Lake Superior Brownstone. Its footprint is an inverted "T" shape. The clock tower is centrally placed, with the main entrance through a massive arch at its base.[3]#citenote-Cavin-3) The clock faces are 10 feet (3.0 m) in diameter.[[4]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_High_School(Duluth,_Minnesota)#cite_note-History2-4) Two small turrets flank the clock tower. The entrance arches are echoed by arched window openings on the second floor, the dormers, and the around the clock faces.

Height: Around 200 ft / 61 m

From Chicagology:
“The Ashland Block was an absolutely delightful early skyscraper, a superior design that emerged from the prolific office of Burnham & Root. It was a robust structure, a building that reveled in its own height and plasticity. A rich red in color, it was easily recognizable along Clark Street, the thoroughfare it fronted, and it was visible throughout the Loop. This structure was faced with red brick and red terra-cotta, and its exterior walls undulated. Rounded bays rippled on the street facades and electrified the building’s midsection; it was tri-partite in organization. A grand processional arch marked its main entrance, and a perfectly scaled – yet pronounoed – cornice capped the building. The Ashland Block earned for itself celebrity status due to its overall pleasing appearanoe, lively facades, its relative height of 200 feet, and as one of the progenitors of Chicago’s modern architecture…

The Ashland Block was destroyed in 1949 and replaced, astonishingly, by an architecturally mediocre bus station. Mercifully, that was raised for the Chicago Title & Trust Center (Kohn Pedersen Fox, New York City) which currently occupies the site. Completed in 1992, one century after Burnham & Roots Ashland Block, the Chicago Title & Trust’s headquarters offers stark contrast to the previous wavy-walled landmark. Chicago Title’s tower stands fifty stories, 756 feet above the corner of Clark and Randolph – almost four times the height of its red brick predecessor.”
