"River Houses make use of funding techniques that Quad Houses can't or haven't chosen to use. For example, Quad parties aren't usually to raise a lot of money," he said...
...beneath all the legalese, beneath all the impact statements and public hearings, there are a lot of people with a host of different concerns involved in the growing battle over the extension of the Red Line.
