Many good points -- a few thoughts... If we criticize every attempt to improve, we won't ever move forward. Some steps will fail, and some will have costs. I share anguish over lost historic structures, but in the final tally, more were lost due to the city's economic failures than to some ineptitude in the transition to efficiency.
As the 'true measure' of many of our past politicians and administrators is now just being told.
