What nebulous, subjective criteria...

- "historical value" -- pretty much anything built before 1960.
- "Contextual value" -- what the hell is that??

Beyond insane for a committee to have this type of power is all I can say.... and based on Leipers comments, the city is going to embrace the recommendation.

Somebody please post the "why doesn't anyone think of the Children" picture
