What the city should do, since they're killing the Farmer's Market, instead of fixing the roof, is demolish the building and sell the land at a premium for urban development, including a stipulation for a streetfront presence through rentable businesses, and highrise density.
Then they can take the crap plot D near the freeway and since they own it, slice it in half, or so. Build a new farmer's market to rent out stalls on the first floor, build the new library above it and on top of that create a social housing tower (of about 16 stories;>)./QUOTE]
