Seems likely that many folks on this forum could add their own pet peeves, more GM snafus examples to the list.  At the top of my list is the river rock controversy. 

Most readers here will recall that YC was originally promoted as having river rock on its exterior.  And the design plans called for that finish on various parts of the building.  Seems the GM "decided himself" to drop the river rock, and go with a form of concrete block exterior,  Seems he hid this decision from the board, and from the public for many months (perhaps approaching  a Yr?).  Seems his "excuse" was that county zoning wouldn't allow it.  But we've seen that various rock exterior building designs often been allowed locally, (sometimes perhaps after a requested exception).  But the GM never pursued exceptions or permits for the rock.

Most of these facts had to be "dug out of the woodwork". Seemed that the GM attempted to."bob & weave", and was not forthcoming at all. Indeed he successfuly hid this fact for quite a while. 

So now OP has what many deem the ugliest YC they've ever seen.  Comparisons of its appearance have mentioned similarities to a warehouse, a Walmart, even a jail.

This seems one of the biggest of the GM's snafus to me
