Spotlight: Towering Towers II Condo Project To Replace State “Capital”

(Note: this was a satirical article reprinted by the Austin Statesman that points. Read comments for further discussion.)

Today's Spotlight focuses on the proposed condominium project, Towering Towers II, which is being developed by Baulsy Bros Builders LLC, based in Miami. The proposed 100-story towers will become the tallest in the state and include 2,361 units.

Towering Towers II, will include a number of ‘Green' features, including no-flush" toilets that will pipe residents' waste products directly into a holding tank below the building which can then be recycled and used as fertilizer by the Austin Parks Department. Each unit will have solar-powered coffee makers and reusable canvas grocery shopping bags inscribed with "Keep Austin Weird."

I may use that newspaper article to make a point in a real life situation where a developer wants build 800 condos and 150,000 or commecial space where a quaint little Fisherman's Wharf exists in the Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard.

Wow. This is the theoretical situation that we're mentioning. It seems that we're all going to be so overbuilt that these historic sites are going to fall in the future.
