		<description><![CDATA[Obviously she cannot be wrong because it was her opinion; which may I add I also share.

However, I will wait until this final unveiling for ultimate consideration of what I feel. Nonetheless, looking at the models and other research of the plan, I still do not agree with it in it&#039;s entirety; not even close.

You&#039;ve seen me argue for urban design and density I am sure on here and OKCtalk, and the Pei Plan just doesn&#039;t incorporate such standards so uniformly across the envisioned downtown as was previously built. For example, the western portion of the plan is extremely suburban to be short and blunt. This is just one of my many oppositions against that plan, many of which hold significantly more water. 

I am not sure if I would consider it a crime per se, but it definitely irks my nerve much more than some pestering bug. Regardless, I see it as a controversial deciding fate of our city&#039;s history and I am very happy that you took such initiative to bring back to life that was so integrally interweaved into OKC&#039;s Destiny. 

You&#039;re the best Steve and partners.]]></description>
