Seaholm in the Shitter

Doing less with so much more.

Great, more condos Downtown starting at half a million dollars: The Seaholm plans came to council today, and in a journalistic feat unmatched since they broke the great news about that "urban" Wal-Mart going in at Northcross, the Statesman has the glowing details. Namely that, aside from the price entry point ensuring it becomes a waterfront senior's home for retired Dell-first wavers and transplanted California porn-producers longing to live in the set from Tim Burton's Batman, the ambitious mixed use provisions include – wait for it – a two-story office building.

Aim for the sky, people.
