If it's not landmarked, it's gone. Besides, if they buy the rights to the parcel or property, they can do what they please. Just like if you want to wear a bugs bunny suit outside on your lawn, on your property, you have every right.
There is the legal way to do things, and there is the absurd way which is what NIMBYS seek to do.
Time to just face the reality. Its coming to an end, what was on the site. I think its also a loss, but I won't let one parcel suddenly get the emotions out, and proclaim that the city has no pride.
If developers had a NIMBY mentality towards cities, and preserved everything... they would file chapter 11 real quick! We seem to forget that developments are business not charity works.
And I agree, the Singer Building, next to the old Penn, was a travesty, but we move on. Sometimes things will suck, but NYC has been doing pretty damn good wouldn't you say? It's not the end of the city.
