For Those Interested in Developments in Ithaca (codes, Walmart)

[TheBreeses]

I can take it...not personally, just the randomness of Ithaca censors some, but not all

You will note one unique feature of 201 College Ave in your photos...no PTAC louvers. VRF/DOAS is where this city is heading, and not the multiple small green boxes on top of the apartments behind the Cayuga St garage.

I'm surprised there has been so much push-back on this.

That would be worth an hour's drive to see!

It's Ithaca! They fight everything for some weird reason. Someone could offer to clean up all of the brownfields and "bad neighborhoods" - not make them expensive just cleaned up and people would still fight it for some crazy reason. It's sad.

They fight things so hard they come over here to Schuyler county and protest things on "our behalf".

LOL, ain't that the truth. I guess many Ithacans feel they know what is best for the rest of the world.
