This will most like be turned into a SFR home and I think that is the best <br />outcome. While I have a long history of advocating for preservation of historic structures…….and continue to do so in <br />this instance, I don’t believe the City should continue to own and operate this building. The City and the Taxpayers <br />have invested many thousands of dollars trying in vain to maintain this property and sadly the neighborhood and <br />immediate neighbors don’t see it as a needed asset. Unless we are to continue to invest inordinate sums for round the <br />clock security (which would be unwise in my view) to continue to pour city resources into this property is simply good <br />money after bad. <br /> <br />Please release this property to the private sector with conditions that it be maintained as a historic structure and invest <br />this money elsewhere in town. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration……….. <br /> <br />Tim Rush, 1225 South Broadway Street, Wilshire Square, SA <br /> <br />Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties <br />13926 Seal Beach Boulevard <br />Seal Beach, CA 90740 <br />(714) 299-4455 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />
