There’s nothing inherently wrong with a tower structure, that much I agree with you. However, at least in Britain there’s a Pavlovian repugnance involved when people start mentioning ‘tower blocks’ or ‘high rises’ due to the failed social experiments of post-war housing. Sixties aesthetics + low income housing = ugly concrete monoliths that are havens for drug dealing (lots of covered nooks and crannies), vandalism, and elevators that are out of order more often than functional. It’s served as the archetypal British ghetto for a while now.
I think the thread title should have a comma between the words “block” and “you”. But it is only a Small Clanger…
