Hopefully the city can move quickly to get a new operator in there if 28 Lister doesn't go ahead... but given the background and apparent nature of this guy I imagine there may be legal issues that could hold things up.
It is quite a shame how the city can be so heavy handed and inflexible with stable and credible business owners, yet so easy and obtuse in other situations. It's unbelievable that they didn't look into proponents more deeply when evaluating the proposals, and hopefully their procedures do improve as the director mentioned in the story; improvements that should be applied in many areas of city business.

People from Cafe Oranje were saying on Twitter that they had to have pretty intense personal audits during the tender process, and seem pretty livid that this guy apparently didn't have to.
