Her tone and the fact that she pans almost everything built in this city are a key factor in why it appears so little of what she is saying is really valued by those who design and fund development in Philly.

Are you seriously bitching about Inga in a thread about a building she hasn't even commented on, based on your hypothetical imaginings of her future comments? What the fuck is wrong with you?
