Next time in LA I'll definitely stop by. I've encouraged a few LA friends to stop to see it. No report back yet.
When I visit I won't be expecting the Smithsonian. I can definitely see why some aren't happy with it. But some of us, appreciate the effort. Whatever side of the line that people fall on I'll respect their view and keep it moving.

We can all choose whether to support his projects or not. Yes, there is free speech and its a free country but I'm gonna try and limit myself to more constructive debates.

He screwed us over and the line is between those that are ok with being screwed over and those that aren’t. No reason to use soft language as if it was a slight difference between what he promised and what he delivered.
He promised us a two story museum and delivered a building the size of a cafe with nothing but pictures of people we already know about. I’m not trying to come at you but you are using soft language to make it look like he didn’t screw up the project.
Like he didn’t buy a building with a tenant in it for him to profit then when called out he went and got a bunch of pictures printed out and said “hey here’s your museum”.
That he is now using as a comedy club and set for a reality TV show.
