While I regret losing an attractive brick building, we must accept change and progress. That is a huge piece of urban land that was quite under utlized. After decades of discussions about the need for more housing, it is wasteful to have such prime waterfront property not used at it highest and best use. The density there was like a camp in New Hampshire. AND at this point, if the JPNC is against anything, then is must be a good thing for our ever improving community, so that almost on it's own is a reason to be FOR something!!!
