Wow, we agree on a heritage issue! Amazing.
I'd like to see them saved too, simply because--while they may not stand out in the South End--they're pretty great houses and would be among the best in any other neighbourhood. The city really only has so many. Plus, the side streets around SGR have lost a lot of similar structures, and keeping some around adds to the architectural variety.
But wow, I really do like this proposal. It puts me in that rare (for me) situation where if the houses get knocked down, I'll still consider it a trade up for the city. But of course it'd be nice to have it all.
