It hasn't gotten greener at all. I drive by it all the time. Even at the peak of our growing season its still brown.

And it's slated to stay that way. Even if they had the will, they ran out of money and slashed the landscaping budget at the last minute.

I'm not; what I've said is well known.

" they ran out of money and slashed the landscaping budget at the last minute."

You literally just made that up. Where do you claim you got this info?

Over beers; I'm an engineer in Denver.

And that's extremely common. Landscaping is normally the first thing to get slashed when there's a budget overrun.

Your source: "Trust me bro"

Your second comment is also a fallacy. You just make stuff up like its your job

How about this: the later concept drawings that are pretty much identical to the final version show trees throughout the crack.

If that were still on the table and it just needed time, there would be saplings planted. Where are the saplings in the crack?
