I mean I am all for knocking down boring 1 story places that offer no architectural value don't get me wrong - but the 3-6 story ones that have been here 100-200 years, let's seek to preserve those - look at how beautiful the stretch of king is along here with all the rowhouses - granted many have had their pediments stripped or fallen off and could use a bit of tlc but it's still a beautiful feeling to have them on both sides - it's a very walkable feeling.

Brought it up because the building manager said something to that effect when we went in for our PDI .... just a question... not an undercurrent lol
