When no one is responding, sometimes it is because they are fine with
the message as-is. I read it. I was fine with it. This isn't an
Australian election.

I must say I find the panic about imperfect building shapes is a bit
amusing considering the very poorly manually-drawn sidewalks I've been
seeing and having to fix in Toronto, or thousands of laneways having a
descriptive "name" added by our corporate friends. Do we aim for
perfect, or for good? Because if it's perfect, I see a _lot_ to be
reverted or deleted.
