Getting a lot of feedback on this post. Seems to be very polarizing and that’s a good thing. The design works from my perspective but also heard a lot of negativity about the walkability and surroundings. Sometimes the right idea doesn’t always fit the right place. As always I love folk’s sharing their honest opinions. Not everything I post is meant to be a huge endorsement. My goal has always been to encourage feedback and hear other’s thoughts.
