And kudos to @kvanvalkenburg.bsky.social for taking an unequivocal position on this on SGS.

Not that I think Andy or BP are any softer on their stance, but it was nice to just hear “I’ll say it – this sucks big time” flat out.

The key point aside from the architectural and aesthetic concerns, which are well outlined by Andy in the overview article, is that this is PUBLIC land. OUR shared land, as citizens.

And they want to turn it into something inaccessible to the people that toadies (and likely enriches) the president.

This would be a bad idea in a vacuum, but it also exists in the context of all of these other terrible ideas and policies. I think (even understanding its relative unimportance) that means it should be fought full-throatedly even (especially) by those that have no golfing interest.

I’n starting to zag on this zig: everyone’s pre-certainty on this loss makes it feel less inevitable
