Look; Here's the deal; Any permanent structure has to meet fire, tsunami and structural codes far more stringent than "temporary" structures.
The HFM people have two choices; Vastly expensive permanent infrastructure, or creative, modular, attractively landscaped infrastructure for a fraction of the cost. (Pop-ups)
Oh; and require that pop-ups be taken down at the end of the day, instead of being left up for decades (which would render them "permanent").
Well, they tore it down in a day. How "permanent is that?
What about a happy medium, i.e., get a new custom tarp setup that is attractive and replace it once a year?
I still say the timing was malicious, and mostly it affects the vendors that Harry feels oh, so sorry for.
