The National Park Service (NPS) is asking the public to weigh in on a report examining the potential effects of President Trump's proposed Triumphal Arch.
I don’t really have the expertise to evaluate the report for things that would make for compelling objections. If someone here happens to, it would be helpful if you could give us a quick summary of the most objectionable parts of this proposal that we could use in writing a comment.
Obviously it’s visually objectionable and all that, but that doesn’t seem to be what they’re asking for comments on.
Don’t know the specifics for who does what there, but I’m assuming there will be a lot of job cuts, budget cuts, mismanagement and abandonment of currently managed locations in order to focus on this single display of overcompensation and megalomania.
Is it being built in an earthquake prone area? Flood lands? Unstable ground? Marshy? Cavernous?
Is it economically viable? What are any actual (as in not wishful thinking) prognosticated revenues from its construction?
Any dangers to local fauna/flora?
Is it ugly?
Dunno. Lots of good questions to be ignored, I’d say. But that’s just me speaking out of my ass.
