i agree demolition should be done on a scale this large, but the city is going to have to make some serious changes in order to function and survive this financial situation. those major changes are not in this plan.

One idea would be to legitimize and license scrappers. Pay the unemployed to dismantle smaller structures. I don't know how feasible that would actually be, though.
