Assessing fees on old buildings such as this is merely a tactic for more money. If Anchorage is truly concerned about the appearance of the city, work on boosting and growing the economy. As the economy goes up, these sites rise in value and development will occur. The site of the hotel in the picture is a prime location for a developer to do something with, if the demand for the space is sustainable to warrant an investment. This is just another backwards approach by government that is trying to fix the symptom instead of the issue.
