- mdorazio 3y agoI really hope you’re making a NIMBY joke because the thing that’s needed is housing, not more parks.

- rickydroll 3y agoDon't forget to minimize outdoor lighting and make it the right color temp (2800k). We need to keep city light pollution in the city as much as possible and set an example of how to do outdoor lighting right.

- MichaelZuo 3y agoThe land is worth a lot, even the shabbiest office building on top of the land is still worth quite a bit, it's the demolition and remediation costs that cancel the latter out, because they are also quite a bit. Someone still needs to buy the land and then pay out of pocket for the demolition and remediation costs.
