I know what you're saying but seriously, they were just yanking our chains. At this point, I feel happy enough with what Austin already has that if I had the ability to I'd wait to sell that property and wait for something better to get built there. Why seem desperate to fill an empty block and just wait for a better design? It's not like we have a choice in it but if I had the ability I'd wait for something better then fill just to fill. I mean, this is the same area where we had the gensler design and an awesome museum planned, where the Travis Courthouse will now build. It went from awesome to mediocre just like that.
But whatever... too bad. I just hope that the designs for the Greenwater Treatment doesn't change yet again for something less than what it is now. If it does, I just might start siding with the NIMBYs on this.
