The Empire strikes back!!!

As could only be expected, the ironically thin-skinned Koch Maladministration looks to have ineptly tried to counter Quincy Quarry’s recent series of hard-hitting exposés of just how over the top is its Kim Jong Koch Plaza Edifice Complex.

Per Quincy Quarry’s intelligence operatives, La Kocha Nostra both went to DEFCON 1 alert status as well as surely called for yet another emergency gathering of its capos even though many of them were surely away on Fourth of July week vacays and so had to Zoom in for the meeting to craft a but feckless response out of thin air.

An oh-so ironically wicked thin response.

• First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

And to underscore just how thin as well as mindless was the response crafted by La Kocha Nostra while gone to the mattresses over hits to this particular over the top Kochian Edifice Complex, view this video from the War Room.

That and just how far over the top?

For starters, WBZ reported that the plaza ran $35 million even if it did not underscore that such a level of profligate spending can only be a case of an unholy amalgam of Inferiority and a Napoleon Complexes run amuck.

Also not noted by WBZ is that the Koch Maladministration is planning to spend untold millions more to relandscape the roughly two-thirds of an acre parcel of now mostly but lawn abutting the Quincy Center MBTA Station after the station might be redone. 

In turn, once the anticipated annex to Kim Jong Koch Plaza is completed, it will then make up roughly a third of the expected final expanse of Kim Jong Koch Plaza.

At the same time, however, when the MBTA might actually redo its now makeshift Quincy Center station as well as develop the air rights over the station with likely yet another sure-to-be outsized Transit-Oriented Development apartment complex and which are already blighting many neighborhoods in the Q remains to be seen.

Needless to say, Quincy Quarry is not going to hold its breath waiting for but merely an MBTA ride to show up, much less see the rundown Quincy Center MBTA station receive a long overdue as well as complete makeover.

In the meanwhile, Quincy Quarry will continue to work the fact that Kim Jong Plaza is at best an ill-conceived pastiche of banal architectural cliches disingenuously pimped as solid design.

After all, the driving tenants of landscape architecture are that sound landscaping design should complement the larger setting as well as look as if the landscaping was always harmoniously as well as seamlessly in place.

Instead, while admittedly many enjoy finally having comfortable as well as shady places to sit outside in Quincy Center, Quincy Square is now a well over the top Edifice Complex wrought by someone with more taxpayers money available to him to burn than good landscape design sense.

That and who also so making a telling statement about himself.

In short, Freud would have a field day if he were still alive.

Either that or go completely as well as irreparably around the bend.
