Although it’s sad to see old trees go, you make the most reasonable point here

Sounds like a happy accident!
On a real note, I think we need more engineers prioritizing overbuilding (not overcomplicating) rather than being so short-sighted. Would definitely pay dividends in the long-run in terms of maintenance and disaster resistance.

What’s interesting is when that whole project was going on I never once read a news article about the sea wall, yet I heard dozens of stories about the viaduct… I was in early college and it makes me wonder if people only cared because it related to our automobile-centric infrastructure.

My apologies, Türkiye/Syria. Is there a name for this region that is more appropriate?
My coworker was arguing that those stone buildings have stood the test of time based on composition and appearance. My belief is that they could very well just be old architecture methods practiced in recent years with inferior materials.

Reply to Camping with reactive dog by cheynsf
Really anything that’s extremely deep in the woods. The unfortunate part is lots of people like shooting out in the boonies. I like going up logging roads to find peace, just beware of wild critters
