Of course I do agree it's a good proposal (though question how acessible and 'public' the public space is) and agree people complain to much and (other) lefty hippie folk make foolish complaints....though I'm just as critical of the people who are development at all costs/tax cuts are the only way to success.

Not too many people here are development at all costs sort of people, but hey after twenty+ years of nothing but empty space along the river, I would gladly pay a tax increase to see something come along even Lake Placid.
But then we can wait another 20 years for the Perfect development to come along that satisfies everyone.
