"Just Another Foggy Old Building Image/song"
I guess I did unconsciously make the building appear and feel ominious as gentrification creeps like a miasma. The city is going all in in the name of "economic development" to provide office space and MORE retail space for high end stores that pay shitty wages. Meanwhile as the 64th largest it has a horrible bus system that only operates 5.5 days a week and stops running at 8pm. Poor people can't rely on any mass transit to get to work. To add insult to injury this 500 million boondoggle (there is a lot of empty existing real estate near downtown) expands gentrification further into my soon to be ex apartment. Rental rates in the hood are skyrocketing (the million or two square foot facility is not to open for another 1.5 years) in what was the last area that had semi-affordable housing. This is in a city that ranks 12th in housing costs in the country based on income/rent ratio.
