I realize that, and can generally enjoy good sarcasm, but I guess the continual negativity gets a little hard to take sometimes.
I agree it's not perfect, but it does appear to be moving in the right direction. If you look at the way things were 20 years ago compared to the way they are now, there's been a huge step forward and only looking better for the future.
Definitely more room for improvement, but I like the way it's going now. As has been pointed out by others in the past, in some cases it's better that some projects were delayed as they are now turning out better than they would have a few years back as the quality of development here is generally improving.
In fact, I'd prefer progress to be a little slower but done right right rather than rush into a rash of poor-quality developments to get it done quickly, but then be stuck with a bunch of junk for the next 30 - 40 years... You really only get one chance in the downtown to get it right before it is literally cast in stone (well... concrete).
