Maybe angling for cabinet in a future Dem administration?

Eng has built up a bunch of credibility with g the handling of partial shutdowns and surges. This would be a place to spend some of it.

15-20 minutes seems a little quick for the inner Healthpeak property. The substation blocks easy cut through from that property, so you need to head down to the donuts and back up over the tracks.

Is that the expansion of the Inner Belt VMF?

I really hope Flynn isn’t council president if she exits mid-term.

Financially, it doesn’t pencil out these days for anything less than a megablock landscraper variant.
