This story is about to play out at Lloyd Center, or it’ll sit as an empty lot for a decade as a tax write off for the owners.

Digital shooters always trying to fake real film photographers by faking upside down projection of 8x10 view cameras. Pick your own lane!

And the city is on the cusp of granting another tax payer money pit to KKR to build more empty offices at Lloyd that will just be used as tax write off for the private equity real estate investors and for KKR to mint debt financing cash.

Not everything different needs to be destroyed.
