It looks as though the vacant lot just west of the Avatamsaka Monastery has some activity. Are they adding surface parking or landscaping it? Anything would be better than it is now

I'm thinking it is landscaping.

Not a great looking project iirc, but it'll be nice to have that empty lot filled in.

Luckily there’s enough to distract you when driving east and when heading west you can think to yourself, at least I don’t live there.

FWIW, it's probably fine for the people living in it. It mostly affects people like us lol.

Agreed. It’s always best to live in the ugly building than to have to look at it out your window.
