Then there is the fact that the NCC has an anti-Midas touch, as everything they touch seems to go up in flames. (Remember the patio a few years back on Colonel By Drive that closed, adding yet another checkmark to the long list of NCC failed projects). Yes, I often roll my eyes at the NIMBY attitudes of many of my Glebe neighbours. However, I also have no faith in the NCC pulling off this project in a way that benefits the area.

The NCC couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery.
