There's no reason we should be demolishing anything downtown given the multitude of surface lots and underutilized land in the core. If this goes through I would be willing to bet a lot that nothing will be built on the land for many years to come and if it is I'm sure the plans will be scaled down a hell of a lot from what they are now. We'd be lucky if it ended up being one 3 story building with a sea of parking.
This is the wrong we to go and we should have learned it by now.
