Tonga Room SF (Not) to be demolished? - General Tiki

I admit, I only poke my head into Tiki Central - but is this hostile territory for preservationists? A couple of responses drifted toward the rough waters of 'property rights' and most of the rest just bashed the drinks. Neither of which are of interest to me if I was writing a landmark nomination for a place. California has this great thing called CEQA http://ceres.ca.gov/ceqa/ that compels developers or owners (in this case Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia) trying to demolish a designated property to come up with a better solution. If Albino Tiki or anyone else interested in a nomination wants to work on it, I'll help coordinate. Thanks again, Sven.
