Whatever you have is the best and the sweetest. Time to dump the saying, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. By the way, SF library is old Heck,

According to city of Austin press materials, the international organization bestows the award on a different new library every year. The award is based on “the extent to which the library takes into account new digital development, local culture, sustainability, and the wishes and needs of the users,” the statement reads.

Incidentally, I own properties in 2 of the winners: Austin Central Library and Tampines Public Library, Singapore. You’re younger than me by 10 years, so backward :crazy_face:
