20 April 2010 - A new monster is being created. Its not Frankenstein's brother, but the latest of Sinoland's contributions to Skyscraper city: The Hermitage. Apart from its culturally inappropriate name, this monster is being erected as an imposing wall between Tai Kok Tsui and Yau Ma Tai. Its taller than tall, and one only wonders who has approved the construction of this monster? Somebody somwehere in HK's many Government's committees must be awake and care about the future of our city? But then again, how is it possible that directors of major developers occupy 54 seats on key advisory bodies? People have massively spoken out against New World's Masterpiece (another hideous name) in TST, but it seems that nobody cares. In its glossy brochure Sinoland says that The Hermitage's features the most valuable world-renowed golden seaview. That may be true, but do they need to block the view, and fresh air, of everybody else?
