Im glad that they are more or less retaining the design. The densification continues. ---

It’s fun they don’t have opaque fencing up yet so you can see the excavation and foundation work really well so far. ![IMG_9899](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/4/d/4d3682b216b6ce603f7d90b04f905d92893382b4.jpeg) ![IMG_9900](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/d/c/dc435a5727b255a3286c70f5fda1d51ee3bbf426.jpeg) ---
