I mean, if you could choose between redeveloping the remnants of that building or build something like the Thompson, or Floodgate, which would you pick?
Some stuff is worth preserving, this doesn't fall in that category for me.

Think bigger, guys. Those aren't the only categories. There are tons of examples of preserving a building while building new on top of it. In San Antonio alone one big example is the Majestic Theatre. This isn't the Majestic, but it is the Reyes, which apparently has one of the oldest liquor licenses in the city. That's historic, and the building is awesome, even if you don't think so.
