It's a nice though, but we're dealing with merkins here. Some of them are lovely people; others...

In this case, gentlemen, it was a comment made by one idiot at a town meeting, and then subsequently blown out of proportion. The reason the solar farm zoning request was denied was concern about home values should land zoned for agricultural use be re-zoned for manufacturing use.

Just been reading about how the York flood barrier was actually opened to avoid an electrical incident.

If immediate public reaction is, "What the hell have they done?", Your

You know you're on your way to an architecture prize when even Soviet brutalism looks tasteful in comparison.

I like it, honestly. I see it as canvas for what's left from that castle. Consider that not as restoration it self, but as preservation.
