I vote that the place STAYS LIKE IT IS, sort of the urban archeology version of "The Living Desert", and you have to pay ten bucks to tour it. With the ACE Hotel, the Caliente Tropics and The Horizon Hotel just down the street, there will be a steady flow of modernist and Tiki hipsters that will explore the place . . . I did so explore, and well worth it! But, it still would be better as a hotel, than as public housing. I can't imagine the adjacent golf course community would approve of such housing. But, if there is no financing . . .
