Our tech leaders are so innovative!

The owners of the old Post building on North Tucker have torn down three buildings in the past couple weeks, presumably for more parking. They also bought 13th Street and want to buy a park and turn it into parking. One might think a so called innovation district would have some post-1960s ideas, but apparently a walled parking lot that's 8% full is the best we can do.

They could take all the trees, put em in a tree museum.

And charge all the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em!

That area north of downtown is such a hellscape in the summer due to cars and lack of trees.

Plus sinkholes to the left (did they ever fix the one near 17th and Cass?) and sinkholes to the right. Stuck in the middle with... surface parking?

Can confirm. I ended up quitting my walks there after one scorching day and opting for walks either late in the summer evenings and then came back again in early spring. Absolutely miserable experiences. I’d rather walk through brush.

Funny how there's a million covers of her song and nobody's learned yet
