But be careful about "popular reaction" being funnelled into tyrranies-of-the-majority (cf. the Voice Of Fire controversy)--besides, I'd suggest the more common "popular reaction" is relatively contented indifference. Paradoxically, the most popular reaction might be de facto non-reaction: "it is what it is", etc.If the success of our most famous PUBLIC square which is anchored by City Hall and paid for with PUBLIC money isn't judged by popular reaction then how should it be judged?
Maybe it's our gee-whiz provinciality that still hails our City Hall as a masterpiece, rather than condemning it as a disaster a la Boston City Hall?
I've increasingly come to like Baird Sampson Neuert's solution - which seems to be a more restrained intervention, and more in the spirit of the original design, than Plant's. The others can go pee up a rope.
