Maybe I’m getting old, maybe it’s the possibilty of a nascent interest in conservatism the convention will bring, but every time I read more about the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center, my willingness to stridently support the city protecting facilities such as this erodes. Sure, we watched helplessly as CHARAS got swindled, though thankfully the progress on that potential eyesore seems to have stalled. Now come the news that Alan Gerson is developing his own plan to try and appease the short-sighted, egotisitical and self-centered artists (oh, wait, that was redundant, wasn’t it?) who can’t seem to strike an agreement on their own, even under the threat of possible eviction (which the city is so far shielding them from). Gerson thinks it might work, but cautions “We won’t satisfy each group 100 percent.” Well, gosh. Those folks seemed so reasonable, I wonder what sort of totalitarian strictures The Man is inflicting on them.
