Yeah I really disliked Bretón's paragraph:

"At the Marshall Hotel on Seventh Street, I met an amiable man who told police he was a registered sex offender. Another man showed us his hovel of a room, the floor water-damaged, walls with black mold -- and spoke of mice infestations. There are proposals to turn the Marshall into a "boutique" hotel. The Berry is supposed to be cleaned up. The Greyhound station is supposed to be moved. Blah, blah, blah. They are what happens when bad property owners meet bumbling city officials."

Bad property owners?? Yeah maybe the former owners of the Marshall but not the current owners. And the biggest sins the City has committed over the years has been being too easy on the property owners, too easy on the Downtown Partnership, too easy on the State, and too easy the Loaves and Fishes, too easy on the drunks, drug addicts, and sexual/social predators.
