The Minton house, on the other hand, holds far more historical significance and should be preserved.

How much more anti urban does the building look currently? Looks terrible. Destroying the mural before destroying the building may not be violence, but it's certainly aggression.
I don't even get it. Was there any real chance that they demolition could have been prevented due to this mural? Their victory was all but certain, was it not? Seems like they've gone out of their way to piss people off.
