EvilGentleman: El, since they were government-funded homes originally intended for the families of veterans returning from WWII, it is most unfortunate that the government decided to stop funding them. If you look at the comments in the......

jeeff: the whole thing has evolved into a huge OMB-city clusterfuck nightmare. the city missed a deadline to challenge one of the designs, and has resorted to desperate lawsuits. most recently, the [[5792:toronto fashion......

colavitos ghost: EG, i don't get what you're talking about. i've never been to st. louis, but this seems like a totally reasonable middle class neighborhood. blind hate toward condos simply doesn't make sense. ...
