I dig it, not because of the resulting buildings being corpo office buildings, but just that the engineering came along with enough quality that we can build such tall buildings in such a seismically active area.
Don't forget, besides being high density, they'll also survive most expected earthquakes (including the big one ™️)
E: to the downvoters: either we build up, or build further out. I'd rather reduce humanity's fixation on occupying space (cue further downvotes lol)
I like the trees but imo the buildings are ugly, a waste of space and a waste of resources. A testament to engineering for sure but one i could do without.
