"…which will bring a uniform look to the business district…"
Sweet, with a little more effort they can turn all of California avenue into a strip mall. Uniformity is great in pencil leads and spark plugs, but the fractal beauty of nature is not just a sitcom on Fox. If you want uniformity, there's a few towns due south of LA where they shave the rough, non-uniform hill-sides into perfect 45° slopes to ultra-flat plateaus on which to build uniform tract homes.
This just doesn't seem like something Palo Altans would knowingly do. Well, we'll always have Los Altos: http://www.losaltospost.com/PhotoGallery/photo/fullimages/Full132109052125.jpg http://www.losaltospost.com/PhotoGallery/photo/fullimages/Fu...
- davidw 17y agoOne of the things I love about the older bits of town here in Padova is that stuff is 'fractal' in the way you describe. You can look at some old buildings and see the interesting and somewhat random ways different portions grew together. Up close you can sometimes see an old fresco or a fancy door or something. You can walk around and see stuff you've seen before and not get bored by the sameness of it all. I think it's healthy for your brain.
