Uh nope, go back and look at some of the previous posts, it was Suburbia who first brought it up. He brought it up on more than one occasion actually.

Here's how the whole Doug thing started, in case people are confused. Suburbia's original posts that brought it up.

I'm sure you understand that a pinch of economics and/or politics might on occasion slip in here, because policy decisions and economic reality impacts construction as we look forward.

So you've seen the Beltline's long term strategic plan!

Long term? Don’t you call Beltline’s east end a petting zoo “Vic Park row” already Doug?

You're going to try to take down high rise buildings with that fly?

I think Suburbia was trying to say that Suburgatory is also another user named 'Doug'. Was there another user named 'Doug' in the past?

What year was the place you live in built? Pre 2000? Bulldoze it.

Good city building practice. Bulldoze private occupied property.

I understand the sentiment, but it's not very practical.

Partially serious is the worst kind of serious.

The new YWCA in Inglewood is just about complete

[YYCguys]

Pretty sharp looking building! And when the Y sells their old building/land, that will open up a range of great opportunities to create a signature building there.

Half serious is wishy washy. Pick a side Doug.

I'm far from in love with this. I'm certain it will function well, and there is perhaps one reasonable angle, but overall it is a real log.
