The White House Ballroom

People just seem to be lining up on this issue along partisan lines.

E.g. Reddit is in a mass meltdown about it. It destroyed some FDR trees!!1

...which, I'll admit, sounds bad...though one of the deeply-downvoted comments there asserts that these particular trees were near the end of their expected lifespans anyway...which...well...big if true...

Me, I don't know and don't care all that much.

Sounds to me like the case for the ballroom is pretty good.

But surely there are architectural historians and whatnot out there who have weighty opinions on this.

Though since I got off Twixxer, I don't see a lot of the stuff I used to would have seen.

Given the rabid and reflexive anti-Trumpery of the left, it's hard to find sensible anti-Trump opinions. You feel like you're panning for gold dust in a mudslide...

Anyway, I'm more than willing to believe that he's doing something terrible here...but I haven't seen arguments showing that yet.
