“1,000 foot” They didn’t do enough research

This is what you get when Instagram replaces actual journalism

[TKDV]

Journalism still gets stuff wrong (IE yimby articles).

Also, “stepped modern tower with a construction crane”, crane has been gone for months now, and tower isn’t stepped.

There should be widely established rules of beauty and balance to prevent subversive and demoralizing architecture like this

Reading the entire kerfuffle above I came away with my favorite comment.

I think that remark could be used as the lexical working definition of ‘FASCISM’.

That being said; I honesty question the sincerety of the comment; it is that absurd. My ‘trolling’ alert has been activited.

[Arik]

Why stop at fascism? Nazism, even!

[5Bfilms]

I would characterize yimby as a very good (usually) crowd sourced informational site. Journalism, OTOH entails having fact checkers and editors performing research to be as certain of the facts as possible, not moderators/contributers with unknown sympathies and questionable levels of experience. I get it though, it’s profession that nobody has much regard for.

[HerrDavid]

Yes, it was. And I should think an apology is order.

At any rate, hopefully a lesson to be a little less cocksure and quick to denigrate board members in the future.
