They could have bought any other site without an historic or significant or nice or beloved building. They chose that one. They owe the residents, especially the ones in the area, who, for some terrible reason, care about this building. And, no I don't have to buy it myself. Have you ever felt bad that building was torn down that was significant? Did you say to yourself, oh well, they have right to do anything they want. Toxic dump, whorehouse? Why even bother...

Holding people hostage? Dramatic much?

"If you aren't carful I'll tear down the building I own and that you have no actual stake in besides your emotional attachment" what?
