How dare you threaten or iconic Financial District! I'm going to start a preservation committee today, before this goes any further.
Honestly I can deal with the ABC and CitiBank buildings, but the Sovereign and especially the BB&T are just not good uses of the land.

Though I also wouldn't mind the cluster of surface parking lots on the eastern central part of downtown going as fast as possible.
