The real problem with Dallas City hall is it was specifically designed to be really unfriendly. I mean not in the brutalist "It is what it is" statement, it was an implicate "If we make it looks really imposing and unfriendly people won't want to protest here" . Designing a city hall to be intentionally vaguely threatening and unpleasant to it's citizens is problematic.

yeah during the immigrants rights rallies circa 2006 having tens of thousands of ppl outside the most aggressive building design ever was super weird
