Curious if the art was ever cited as being part of the blight that led to the eminent domain claim?
Doesn’t make much sense to leave a building vacant for a decade, or does it?
Do the homeless on the sidewalk get to stay too?
Only if they can attach themselves to the furniture
Well that’s nice.
With the redevelopment agency being eliminated everywhere in CA, these plans appear to be moot according to the Examiner.

Leave it up a few more years and Defenestration will become a historical landmark. It has almost reached the age that it has been in the city longer than most current residents.
