One way for Salt Lake to build out its cultural fabric is by not demolishing so much of it for buildings that have very limited sidewalk interaction. I don't think there's an attempt in the city to preserve its architectural fabric and that scares me because it means nothing is off limits in the overall march toward supposed progress.

I look what they've done to the area of 600 West and 200 South and it's depressing. Instead of focusing on building a nice little entertainment hub with In The Venue (err Club Sound or Bricks too lol) literally right there, it's been replaced with a residential complex that has zero engagement to the light rail stop just out its doors. The whole area is going to likely be demolished sooner rather than later with zero lively presence. I am sad to see that whole block totally underutilize the light-rail line.

It's a small thing, of course, but these small failures add up.
