Personally? That gap in our skyline possibly never getting filled, thus looking weird forever. We only have 1 chance to get this right. This building is going to be there for the rest of our lives. Probably the rest of our children's lives. And their children's, even.

We don't even know if the remaining lot
is going to be transferred to a private developer. The county could keep it. If they promised to sell it, I would drop my protest immediately, because I do value mixed-use infill. But for all we know, they're keeping the lot in case they decide they need to expand later, as someone else speculated.

Exactly. That's what makes this so critical.
