I fear you may be correct. I reckon the scaffolding may have been erected solely to prevent parts of the crumbling building from falling directly onto pedestrians heads. I hope to be proven wrong, however.
Agreed - although living in a west facing unit in Panorama, I am slightly biased... But I'm disappointed that what I thought was going to be a true reno now appears to be a token facade job. That is if it ever gets off the ground at all.
