You're the one who's lost when you can't even say what's wrong with this Tyee article.

So what if all the heritage properties you mentioned became degraded due to lousy folks managing them. Fact is, we should be bringing back what used to be the pride of Vancouver whenever possible, and that is what preserving heritage is all about.
