I’m all for monumetal architecture but don’t you need to actually be triumphant over something to have a triumphal arch?
Just FYI, the NPS is required by law to respond to substantive comments. Shitposting or just ranting won’t do anything but maybe register that you’re mad - if you want to slow things down you would actually need to engage with the report or with federal law in your comment. Otherwise they can just toss your comment.
here’s where to actually leave a comment: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?parkID=186&projectID=136973&documentID=151576
Thanks for this - comment submitted. Its a fucking waste of tax payer dollars.
it’s not even original, france already has one lmao
Wait til you see the Parthenon in fucking Nashville, Tennessee (link). The ultra rich and powerful have bought, moved, or replicated historical structures for ever, but this one irks me. Partially because Wikipedia, America-centred as it is, says it was designed by a Confederate American architect… mf it’s plagiarism
LOOSER ARCH
there have been no triumphs here
The only thing that could justify a triumphal arch is if the whole citizenry rose up to defeat the Fascist Toad in Chief and his Toadies. But of course that would also mean we could NOT build it and use the money for better purposes.
Fuck Temu Hitler
Literally the Hitler playbook
Is this the arch they are building to rape children? It’s the Epstein Arch right?
we can build it after they put away the last raper in the files.
I don’t really have the expertise to evaluate the report for things that would make for compelling objections. If someone here happens to, it would be helpful if you could give us a quick summary of the most objectionable parts of this proposal that we could use in writing a comment.
Obviously it’s visually objectionable and all that, but that doesn’t seem to be what they’re asking for comments on.
Don’t know the specifics for who does what there, but I’m assuming there will be a lot of job cuts, budget cuts, mismanagement and abandonment of currently managed locations in order to focus on this single display of overcompensation and megalomania.
Is it being built in an earthquake prone area? Flood lands? Unstable ground? Marshy? Cavernous?
Is it economically viable? What are any actual (as in not wishful thinking) prognosticated revenues from its construction?
Any dangers to local fauna/flora?
Is it ugly?
Dunno. Lots of good questions to be ignored, I’d say. But that’s just me speaking out of my ass.
Have you ever been to the arc de triomphe in Paris? Horrible place to be in my opinion. Now the question is, can this one be even worse?
such a monstrosity could only turn into the world’s largest public urinal.
Where can we read the comments? :P
We can’t read the comments. We can only submit comments.
NPS said comments may be submitted online through the agency’s Planning, Environment and Public website.
Comments may also be emailed to ncr_planning at nps.gov
We can’t read the comments. We can only submit comments.
Here’s a thought: how much do you bet those who submit unfavorable comments will have a higher-than-normal rate of ICE home visits soon?
Good point! Thankfully I was too lazy to click in there and speak my mind. I don’t feel like being kidnapped & put into a concentration camp anytime soon.
my brianrot for a secon thought it said trumphallic arc
Abysmal.
Still humping the Roman dream it seems. Shame.
