His new and fancy dance hall.

Who’s the architect? Who’s the contractor? Who supervises the design? What are the guidelines for what can or cannot be built on that site? Is there any set of rules for embellishments? Is there any way to prevent his making it a gaudy gilded shrine to himself? He says he’s paying for it (as if), but is he also planning to pay for the considerable staffing and maintenance? For that matter, do the people have ANY say in whether this thing is built?

2. Yes, good questions. Our White House is a historical site so how can he do this?

We have a Historical Society where I live and they are engaged with design, colors, etc when developers want to “improve” a building or even paint a building downtown. Where’s the oversight in DC?
