<div>Bruce, while in the beginning I was like warm about the whole Cafritz thing, when I started reading about the "bridge" a few months ago, I started getting concerned. Now that you have brought the bridge from a 2D image on paper to a 3D mental image, you have really solidified for me that this project may not be worth the revenue as far as the effect on the town. I almost bought a house over on that side of town when I first moved here. I have been thinking about moving from the south side of 410 to the north side for years. But now, I don't think I have any interest in moving over there. Even if it's only half has bad as you have described, it doesn't sound good. I feel bad for those folks who will live next to that bridge.</div>
