  3. Um, good point Kevin. Do you complain to real estate agents that they don't put crime stats in their flyers, too?

  4. I saw the kualas in the trees a couple weeks ago, its a cool addition to the divider on San Carlos. Also, I'm surprised at how quickly the 360 is filling up. I'm hoping other developers see the demand for highrise apartments and begin more projects in the near future.
