Always easy to complain when its not your money or risk but the fact is the parts of Mayfair that remain were completely refurbished and brought in good new tenants. The parts of Mayfair and the church that was torn down are being replaced with businesses that will bring tons more economic activity than what was there previously. The amount of increased sales and ad valorem taxes from on these 3 corners will be huge. Not everything has to be, or even can be OAK.
