But the issue is that we've already landmarked a ton of prewar Midtown buildings, both notable and not-so-notable. There are already many parts of Manhattan that have been "museum-ified" by too much landmarking, and unless we upzone, the same thing will happen with this part of Midtown.
Most of the buildings mentioned by the Landmarks advocacy group aren't going to be demolished, anyways. Generally, buildings with maxed-out zoning won't be demolished.
