Hope not to offend, but the two biggest waste of real estate are graveyards and golf courses. There has to be a way to combine the two.

Catacombs with underground mini-golf?

The one thing I really don't like about buildings primarily featuring blue glass, or glass in general, is that in a lot of distance/skyline shots they sort of disappear.  I mean, in the above skyline shot, if you didn't know that SoBro cluster on the left was there, you might not even realize there were buildings in that part of the shot aside from the SoBro residential tower.

Wouldn't be an issue on a sunny day. Overall, a fan of town from the north with the river in the foreground, lush green hills in the background.

I definitely hope we don't end up with a part of the city that's only glass.  I'd love to see something a little different mixed into SoBro over time.  Even if it's just a little brick / stone / etc.

Honestly, it's because I would LOVE to be the subject of an archeological dig in a thousand years or so. I want to be buried dressed like a 7th century Kentish king or something, simply to confuse the absolute hell out of some futuristic academic.

Well of course it is, people are dying to get in there.

You should be cremated for that pun.
