Re: New Building

I find this zoning taste thing sad.
After spending much time as a child with the wonderful family that used to 
own the wrecking yard East of Mountain View (now replaced with homes), I 
discovered a long time ago that there is practically no such thing as junk. 
Unless you want to include all things we make.
Everything we make comes from the Earth: trees, rock, dirt, oil.
In mass people ruin its original beauty to make narcissistic Icons.
As for those who would be resourceful with it ...more power to em.
There is no winning in a dispute over taste.
The structural integrity of any construct on the other hand can  perhaps be 
more easily debated and proved.
