text: It's clear that we need this expanded housing, so it feels natural just to read this and think, "Good."
  
  But I can't forget that this whole huge project wasn't even in the City's plans when it came up for the Opportunity Fund grant this year.  That's especially striking when the Housing Authority's director says the project is "long overdue" and "the largest development in years."  --  it does seem like the sort of undertaking that would need good, solid advance planning.
  
  There are other worrisome things about this report  --  e.g., shouldn't the reengineering of part of the city's street grid be based on more than "They said high school kids fly down Park [Avenue]"?   You know, something old-fashioned like data?
  
  I certainly wish this project well  --  and have the uneasy feeling that it may need luck to replace the solid analysis and planning that seems not to have been done.
