it's not perfect, but it was such a weird piece of land to begin with, especially with all those wacky multi-level roads surrounding the place, that i think they're doing a pretty good job with it. fast forward 20 years into the future, after full build out and some tree maturation, and i think some of the current naysayers will see LSE a bit differently.
