This building belongs to the community not some developer who is just gonna tear it down for condos. Stop selling off our history.

Total incompetence by the city hall as usual. Keep the building public.

The policy was there for a reason. Why change it now just to squeeze money out of every plot of land? Leave the space for the non profits.
