I've been commenting on those articles trying to plant seeds to make people see how poorly that land is being used, and how the area is pretty much a no-man's land after 5 pm. The funny thing is, most of the comments on the subject coming from citizens are in support of that area being redeveloped. So far it's only been politicians who have been against the idea. I have seen a few overly emotional posts talking about how it's sacred land or some kind of jewel to be protected.
Actually, the land where the Capitol Complex is now north of the Capitol was mostly historic single family homes before they were torn down in the 1940s to expand the complex. The pathetic thing is what replaced them were mostly huge parking lots and garages with a few fugly state office buildings.
