makes me think you don't know how to use them. You don't have to turn right and flip a bitch at all. It just takes planning ahead, they only place you cant turn left is at a light, so for example if you are traveling north on 7th street and want to head west on thomas, turn left on roanoke, then right on 5th and left on thomas. Pretty god damn simple, but most of you guys would never get it, brains are too small.

And I'm reading that article wondering what mayor gordon plans to do with that 2.7 acre space that will make it so great, you know, something all great cities have. I'm thinking he plans on trumping Millennium Park, Balboa Park, and Central Park, all in one shot!
Get over yourself, Gordon, your ideas are and always have been half baked. You promise us the world, and then give us something that most other cities could use to make the coutry jealous... but your version is always a piece of shit.
The new convention center, I just realized, has almost no retail, which will add to the dead zone and completely makes walking in that area intolerable. The new Sheraton, which is city funded, looks like someone ate red and yellow m n' ms and barfed them up. All of the light rail designs for stations are boring as all fucking hell, and the downtown streets now are so confusing to people that they are refusing to drive on them. Thanks for the antique train design, which I was super excited for until I saw the result. Thanks mayor Gordon, thanks for a truly remarkable list of failures and yet another one to come, in this "great civic space."
