This is particularly ironic happening in Soho, where artists have provided the impetus for one of the great unplanned development successes in the country. Soho has been the model for dozens of artist pioneered community redevelopment schemes. I think that some of the people in the City government, seeing how tourists and the like have made soho into something of a mall and a brand name, are now planning to tidy the joint up. Bad idea and appalling tactics. Eric Siegel [log in to unmask]
