I have many concerns about this article. First, the connection between Ray Aceves, the tarot card reader, and Gargoyles Statuary is not made until much later. But you ask, "How is that even a business?" I'm sure the owners consider it very much a business. Second, does the comment "...even a slight change to rules, such as how tall a building on the street can be..." refer only to the Ave? Or to the entire re-zoned UD? "Slight change"? Even double the height would be a major change. Does the Ave want to become a canyon surrounded by dozens of 340-foot skyscrapers like the existing out-of-place monster with "U W" at the top? Are we fantasizing that the Ave can survive? On what planet?  Why don't we follow the example of Vancouver, BC which is not trashing its beautiful West End or residential neighborhoods, but instead developed  Yale Town and False Creek on undeveloped lots. Can't we do the same? To have something new, we don't have to destroy the old. But here, we do exactly that.
