I think I am running a little short in those things called credentials but I did get a 'B' in a Urban Studies class I took at UNO back in the 80's.

Everyone has a cross to bear. For planners its politicians... And maybe citizens who don't know what they are talking about.
I do appreciate your snide remark though, stupid things get done around here, no doubt.

Are you aroused by tall buildings or do wrecking balls get you hard?
