Which way Western man?

Seeing this beautiful old art deco USPS building in Napa boarded up in favor of the strip mall variety a block or so away hurt my soul a bit

Evidently the building was damaged during an earthquake in 2014. The local government deemed it wasn’t worth the $2m to renovate and sold it to a developer where it has sat for years with plans (moving at a snail’s pace) for it to become the lobby of a hotel. The bureaucracy in the US and especially California is insane
