I am saying that in my opinion, both parties are equally as bad for their own various reasons. I've never understood blind party loyalty or voting down the party line. I'd rather personal...

I hope whomever develops that site design the building to be rounded up against the curb on the south end. A wedge-shaped building (think Flatiron Building in New York City) would look great there.
