  • Yeah, I went back and watched. They accepted the grants for New Vision and for the new city hall money but denied the purchase agreement for the Masonic Temple. I'm happy about this, at minimum if they go with the Masonic Temple they need to negotia…
  • Yeah, I was trying to be nice with the "borderline" part

  • That's certainly a disappointment, I don't like the idea of having a 50'+ greenspace in the ROW that doesn't do anyone much good and will almost certainly end up poorly maintained. It doesn't make sense.
  • What I had a problem with today didn't seem related to his political leanings but absolutely gives credence to your theory on intelligence. Check it out beginning about 1:55:00
  • I don't see any watermarks on any of the renderings or mention of the architects or companies involved. From the look of the buildings I wouldn't be at all surprised if they are from different architects, they're very different designs. I still wish…
  • City Pulse has an article on this project. They're somewhat critical of what they say is a change in workforce housing from all 450 units to 150 units. I don't remember them saying in any of the articles that all of the housing would be workforce, I…

  • Oh wow, a lot better. I'm going to get some of those renderings uploaded to the Development Rundown thread. The Tower on the Grand is vastly improved. I could almost get over what's shown as far as the ramp goes. The look of everything is nice in…
  • Looking at the language in the City Council's acceptance of the housing grant money I'm confused. It makes it sounds like the city has a ton of leeway in how they could spend the money, from saying it could be used in emergencies to saying it can be…
