If I understand the above correctly, and this plan:
Most of the streets will be 20m ROW, with the exception of Cherry, Munition and Commissioners which will all be 40m?
Street ROW (building face to face, not roadway)
New Cherry 42M
Commissioners 40M
Most of Villiers * 32.2M
Munition 30M
Centre - 20M
A portion of Villiers* 20M
Old Cherry 18M

Also, you keep complaining about street walls not as tall as NYC, but almost all of Villiers is taller, its mostly 6-10s.
Have a close look, its right there:
So since you keep calling for more, you're saying double the streetwall height of Boston or NYC is still not enough.
I have a very real problem with that.

Can we narrow the ROWs? Yes.
But to do so we must lower the streetwall heights to the exact same as the ones you like, which will reduce population density. We can't actually make that density back up, because the bulk of the ROW on most streets isn't far cars but people; and in order to shrink the sidewalks, for the most part, you have to cut the number of people.
I don't know why you won't address the issue that the neighbourhood you espouse in NYC is 2/3 the density proposed at Villiers. This is public math, you can google it all.
