The Santa Cruz City Council Did Something Right?

From MercuryNews.com yesterday:
Santa Cruz council backs arts project:

“A $43 million project aimed at injecting new life into Santa Cruz’s struggling arts community won unanimous support from the city council early Wednesday after dancers, sculptors and glass-blowers begged the council to give them a cool place to live and work.

The Tannery Arts Center may soon become the heart and soul of the city’s arts community, as artists and performance venues move closer to Santa Cruz’s quirky but vibrant downtown. It’s also expected to draw “cultural tourists,” adding to the tens of thousands who come to Surf City each weekend to lounge on the beach.…”
