It sucks when this happens. When cool old buildings come down to make way for something else, at least there's the benift of progress whatever it may be. Time marches on, things change.

What is far worse is that in this city, renovation or repurposing never even gets a sliver of an economic chance with the vast majority of the structures. The deck has been heavily stacked against that happening by decades old policy that has failed long ago yet still is implemented in this state.

What a colossal waste. Architecturely, economically and for the advancement of our society.
