No, wait. Appearances to the contrary, that is not the Church of Darth Vader. It’s the brand new Tempe Center for the Arts — a concert venue, because Phoenix can never have enough empty concert venues.
It’s built near a working freight railroad line.
It’s built in the glide path of Skyharbor Airport.
It’s built in the flood plain of the Salt River.
Who says taxpayers are dupes?

Wow looks like you have the same problem we do. People want to build things we don’t need, in places they shouldn’t be. I guess when Jefferson said apathy would kill democrasy he was more profectic then we thought.

That does look nice though. That looks like some of these big gyms that they build that they think they need big indoor swimming pools and a 1000 treadmills for 30 people.
The American way is to build bigger and bigger. I like the water the best.
