Was EVERY poor building which tragically lost its existence in Denver well designed? Or were they small? And not meant for cars (which is now the hallmark of bad design obviously), or just made with the resources that were available at the time. OR made over the course of 100 years instead of 10-15 and more diverse than what we have now - because of the above mentioned destruction of most of downtown by the exact same set of people who are now shouting BANAL!!!! BANAL!!!! EVERYTHING IS BANAL!!!!!

A web comment from the article...
Are pocket projects going to get us the tens of thousands of units we need? The new project at the Taxi site is marketed towards families, called Freight 2, and is 2 bedrooms starting at $2300 or $2400. That's not affordable for most people. Cool design? yes.
