Most disingenuous. Station yourself on the makai side of Nimitz and imagine the view mauka along any cross streets. Or, put yourself on Beretania and look makai along any cross street.  Just because you cannot see the ocean from most buildings downtown today does not create some sort of situation where when you obstruct the last remaining mauka-makai views you have not adversely impacted the environment by obstructing those views. Loss of these views by the concrete monster obstruction is not mitigated by less vehicles on the road or less parking structures. There are some impacts that simply cannot be mitigated. The loss of these views are irreparable. Of course, perhaps you know that SF demolished a very unsightly freeway ramp which obstructed views a few years ago....too a long time to do it, but it can be done. Furthermore, just because it runs through an area with warehouses does not make it any better, there are mauka-makai views in Iwilei, and there are historic structures.
