As it states clearly in the article, Farr brought the request to tear down the building and replace it with a parkette.

Farr confirmed he has approached city staff about the possibility of tearing down the former tavern at 193 King St. E.

His position on 18-28 King East and 193 King East are contradictory. He cannot bring forward this suggestion to demolish the city-owned property at 193 King Street East to city staff while at the same time blocking a private developer from doing the same thing at 18-28 King Street East.

I am not sure why you think I have changed my mind about the Gore Park buildings. My position on 18-28 King Street East remains exactly the same as when I first posted it nearly a year ago.
