i wrote a note to the attorney for protect our parks 

calling future saplings mitigation for clear-cutting established trees and making an ecosystem a construction zone is patently absurd. after the buildings and roads are built and the saplings are planted it will be years before bird habitat is established again, and meanwhile the illuminated tower will be a bird-killing beacon. many migrations will be disrupted, and bird populations that are currently crashing (i think the last i heard a 35% decline) will crash harder and faster, and some species will go extinct. and how is this debacle already changing the demographics of the south side? due to the obama effect not only birds and trees are brushed aside, but people.

It gets worse 

anyway we're still here and here we'll stay. we want to watch and see what happens with this ex-precedential conning tower. like winona says, stay put and take care.
