It has been available several times over the more than three decades since Milk last occupied it, so there has been more than ample time for the community to organize itself and do something else with the space. If Cleve (and I like Cleve a great deal) really wanted something there other than HRC, he's had all the time in the world to make that a reality as well as access to people with enough money make it happen. We are rather lucky the Westboro Baptist Church or some other equally hateful group (though finding a group equally hateful to Westboro would be a challenge) didn't rent the place. <br /><br />As much as I love the Castro, it is not the neighborhood Milk lived in anymore. It is much wealthier, much straighter, much less funky, and decidedly more corporate. I can think of only two or three business that remain from his day, Cliff's being the main one. Would he even recognize Badlands if he wandered in? <br /><br />Remember: if thing were different, they wouldn't be the same.Stephen R.
