Wow at the shadowing on those southern units in the neighbouring building. Completely blacked out. This stretch deserved better designed buildings.

Genuine question: how would you design a building adjacent to another building that does not shadow? Can you show me some examples? In European cities I have lived in like Barcelona and Paris - whose cityscapes I love - the apartments of the middle class were often extremely dark, because the number of windows was limited.
