This is quite an interesting story, really. I mean, when so much else has been ignored and left to ruin, why has the City grasped onto St Mark's so tightly over the years? In terms of the history and beauty of the structure, it doesn't even compare with others in the lower city. It would seem they're stuck in this mentality of previous investment; they've been holding onto it for so long they can't foresee any other outcome than this. I would have to agree that while it should be saved, $1-2MM is too much for that sort of nebulous function. Find somebody with a great idea and give it away - that would be more responsible than this.
