It's literally none of our business if someone likes to make money. You know just as well as anyone that that's a PR nightmare waiting to happen. And if you're so confident in downtown why don't you have a large company that develops all the surface lots? I mean, no one is gonna stop you from getting rich and sanctimoniously developing every lot just to satisfy your utopia vision.

I want to see these lots filled as much as anyone but there's got to be a solid financial case to do so. These people take all the risk and we reap all the aesthetic reward, maybe we could be a little more thankful that there's anyone interested in making downtown a better place!
