Well, putting up a new building also has consequences.

I assume that is why cities, etc. have zoning boards. Put up a 1,000 or 2,000 seat church and create parking and traffic problems.

So in this case, the LC headquarters building resulted in the removal of the alley used by the Fillmore.
And in this case, it's the Ilitch's fault. But answer me this, if putting up a new building next to a theatre requires an alley for equipment trucks, why are there buildings butted up next to theatres in NYC without an alley? You rarely see empty plots of land in Manhattan.
