The ZBA shot down every proposal for that building except Roche Brothers because that's exactly what the city was trying to force the developer to put in there, whether economically viable or not. Roche Brothers fell through and now we're back to square one. Why it fell through, we'll probably never get a straight answer. I wish we had a local newspaper worth a damn in this city.
If the city wants to dictate exactly how the building is used they should make an offer for it and buy it... except then when things inevitability go south, they wouldn't be able to pass the blame.
