I’d love to see all of those crappy Class-D office buildings razed and replaced with beautiful residentials.

Having lived in the FiDi, 80 South Street is in a great location idk what you are all talking about. It’s literally next to the Seaport and there is also Stone Street which is just a, eh, stone’s throw away. As for green space Battery Park is excellent and just a. Few blocks south. Also plenty of shopping and theater in the FiDi.
Sure there are some late 20th century office building clunkers, but the trend is toward a more mixed-use 24/hr neighborhood with lots of amenities.
