The fight for restoration is not over just because mufi says so, in fact it appears that it is at least 8 years from being over, according to your reporting. There are apparently significant unresolved issues with destroying the historic structure. I will continue my support for the restoration of the natatorium, the fight is not over

If i'm not mistaken Mufi comes up for re-election before the eight years is over. Anyone want a new mayor?

This demolition initiative seems very ill-conceived. Total projected costs are closer to $17mm, not the $15.1mm reported in the article, and that assumes there won't be the typical cost-overruns. Restoration would cost about $3mm less, and preserve a beautiful and historically significant landmark. Restoration, not demolition, is the common sense solution.
