How many geniuses did it take to think this up?

Another bright idea from the geniuses at the State Property Office. 

We have long been outraged and appalled at the corn-pone approach that the State takes with its property holdings in the City of Raleigh.   The peckerwoodism of the State Property Office, we have determined, merits a new category of posts on this blog, wherein we will attempt to document just a few of the innumerable acts of idiocy that the State commits with its real estate holdings in the Capital City.   

Bonus city planning and urban design tip:  Whatever the State Property Office proposes for a site, do the exact opposite, and you will probably be OK.

Keep in mind that most of the people higher up in NC state govt are not city/urban people. They're suburban motorists who get the hell out of downtown as soon as the workday ends. Other manifestations of this issue are the state parking deck fiasco, where they planned to spend $20 million to build a new parking deck to get the same number of parking spaces that would be made available by no longer assigning state employees individual spaces.
