Okay, new subject but old topic - WHAT to do with Buffalo's waterfont?

It is not a pleasant place. Deep water, high waves, brutal winds. This is not Erie PA's Presque Isle, with miles of sand bars and beaches and trees. It isn't Crystal Beach, either. When Frederick Law Olmsted proposed that South Park should extend down to The Lake, he was told: "We hate the Lake", in essence. A scary, nasty place.


Bless the hardy souls who can afford to weather the storms in the Marina condos, but what about the rest of the abandoned shore, used for 140 years or so for industry ? Trees and wind turbines? More docks for wealthy owners of boats? What?
