The municipal group leader and Union convergence , Joan Puigdollers , lamented the situation in which people are living in the ruins of this building in industrial and claimed yesterday that the real problem is that the Hall "does not know what happens in the city." And what is worse , " if you know, does not act until the communication media report it ."

Puigdollers says to lift blocks of 7 to 17 floors and ground in an area as expensive as the Diagonal , and do - it building them perpendicular to the ca - lle , rather than parallel (see graph) , is " a ploy speculative " and de- ja former factory boxed . Due to
excessive height , break the profile properties of Diagonal, that from Glories to the sea loses morphology has on the rest of the city . Puigdollers also regrets that the municipal government repeatedly abused Article 66.5 of the City Charter to redistribute green areas as best suited to developers . Thus, the small green space between Diagonal and Llacuna , which the Metropolitan General Plan is green , is reclassified to build homes. The City ac - Tua so -mercial criteria : built in the most va- lorada , first Diago - nal line , and moved ver- des spaces within the block. "The City Council acts as avidly than private business ," complains Puigdollers . He adds : " Then , to compensate , considered green football field - that is existing equipment , and the islands of the Diagonal , which are paved ."
