I don't ever recall a proposal to demolish everything. Partial preservation has been on the table since the beginning, but now I think it's in doubt without the GPLET, which many are now screaming to have denied in light of the rapid demolition. I haven't been in on enough of the details to say who's right and who's wrong, but the situation for the city has now become like something out of a movie: Some hostages have already been killed and now those holding the remaining ones are making demands. The dilemma becomes whether to negotiate in order to save the remaining hostages, or refuse to negotiate knowing that any concessions may lead to more hostage taking in the future.
