I can’t believe that I’m going to say anything good about City management (particularly given their recent misbehavior regarding the proposed stadium project), but lets think right and get real.

This project has been taking FOREVER, and the City has given Hardwick more chances than I can recall them ever giving anybody. Now, on top of his health concerns, he’s stuck in the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression.

Nobody expects Hardwick to be out there pounding nails himself, but Cabrillo residents are right to expect to see some progress being made. It’s an eyesore and and what they call an attractive nuisance (although “attractive” seems like an odd word to use under these circumstances). Hardwick can’t help but know this.

I hope he recovers well and gets a contractor who will get it done soon. If things go badly (and I sincerely hope that they do not), I hope the trustee of his estate will do the same.
