where do you see all the detail in Compass that says this or is this knowledge outside of the actual permit application?

This project has really dragged out. I never would have thought that Copaken Brooks would have announced, built and opened two residential towers before this has even broken ground, especially since this 3 Light has far more aggressive incentives than the Copaken Brooks projects.

Neither one of those projects was part of a complicated development agreement with the city...

No one could have predicted a pandemic, but looking back, 3L would likely be a few floors above ground right now if it weren't for the back and forth with the city who wanted to essentially renegotiate the terms.

Ahh well, sure would be nice to have all those construction jobs right now.

I wonder what could be different about it this time around. This would be the, what, 5th revision?

Only people who haven't been paying attention say that.

Coronavirus Researchers Tried to Warn Us

Before the pandemic hit, they struggled to get funding that might have hastened treatments for COVID-19.
The now-prophetic words could be found at the end of a research paper published in the journal Clinical Microbiology Reviews in October of 2007: “The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb.”

The warning—made nearly 13 years ago and more than four years after the worrying first wave of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, killed nearly 800 people globally—was among the earliest to predict the emergence of something like SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Many other warnings would follow.
https://www.theatlantic.com/health/arch ... ic/613003/

I could list dozens of links like this. Just Google "Scientists have been predicting a pandemic."

For this very reason, it's why the Obama Administration set up a pandemic preparedness and response office, and left a playbook for dealing with one.

With climate change, a lot of long-dormant viruses and bacteria frozen in tundra will become exposed to animals and humans, and we likely don't have any immunity to them. So expect more pandemics to come. I can only imagine a virus that kills 70 percent or more of those who are exposed to it. We are so ill-prepared for that situation -- especially when it's been demonstrated how badly people take protective measures.

After things normalize again if vaccines prove effective, I predict the next economic crisis will be debt-related. It might actually seem worse than the effect COVID had on the economy. A lot of people, companies, and nations are accumulating unsustainable debt right now. It might have a cascading domino-effect.

You're in the very tiny category of people who were paying attention considering this caught the entire world off guard. Maybe now, more people including the governments of the world will take it seriously and prepare for the next one.

I assume it is mostly design refinements from what we saw in September. if its something major, I am sure DCOLEKC would let us know.
