The Food and Drug Administration rejected a recent application to have placebos approved as a drug, despite numerous studies submitted that showed a placebo’s effectiveness.

It is indeed a pity that everyone wants to use
Divisadero as the dividing line.
The area I live in was once the Downtown of Fresno. And last time I looked there is shining new addition 'north' of Divisadero.
There is the hospital, and what every else you may want to call it, it is a commercial enterprise, in that it is in the business of making a profit.
Until folks learn that getting to the 'core' area requires travel through other road, and that might not be areas folks feel comfy with, Downtown will not get where it wants to be.
What a shame that building a New Downtown requires folks to ignore the past and continue to search for a fix that might not work. Frersno will not be the first to get it totally wrong. Nor the first to spend the 'public purse' freely talking itself to death about what if, when it can not see what is.
Circle the wagons, keep the old boy club funded, and if it does not work, there is always the 'public purse' to pick again.
