Agreed - wind is a widely over rated non-issue.

Agreed - the building looks great.

If the city doesn't get more projects like this it will continue to decay while the suburbs grow. Just look at what's happening to city churches and schools - they're being run down and sold off. Property taxes will also increase without redevelopment of urban communities.

If my parents sell their home and want a place to live as they get older, I don't want to ship them off to some building in the suburbs. I plan to attend the public hearing and speak up for this development - I encourage others to do the same.

cheers ...
