I'm not a Mac apologist. I'm just suggesting that the university's use of the old courthouse was a PR sop that had no funding deadlines shaping its decision-making. Absent a mountain of public money, the Downtown Health Campus is not well-suited to adaptive reuse. Then again, as I say, it's an election year and the laws of the universe are in flux. Having bought the land and paid for the building once, there's nothing to stop us from doing it again. I kid, but only just. And again, if the private sector assessment of our city's architectural heritage is that its value is primarily symbolic-sentimental, there aren't enough elections on the horizon to save us from an ocean of heartbreak.
