To meet the standard of our city rather than us conforming to whatever their Business Model is. Thats the reason i attended the preapplication meeting and thats why ive been in communication with project sponsors. Ever since then to try to assure that this had a greater street presence to what they originally proposed. Bear in mind those fancy architectural renderings youre looking at are only appropriate if youre in a helicopter hovering over the project site. The reality on the ground is blanch street is a oneway street going eastward towards the embarcadaro. And in general, what you will see on the ground is the backside of this project and the blanch street frontage.

Im the veteran of the home depot wars that went on three to four different times when we finally lost about five years ago. They left because of their Business Model that screwed up at the time.
