Top it off with very poor city government and policies through the years and we have what amounts to a joke of an urban area and historic fabric compared to most of the rest of the country.
After more than 15 years of being on this forum, going through many of the ups and downs, watching nonsense happen, or more often than not, nothing at all happen, this fiasco is basically the straw that broke the camel's back for me. We can kiss this historic building goodbye, and it's past time to stop caring in general.
