Anyway, isn't New York *full* of rows of remaining mid-19th century Greek Revival townhouses? Since this one isn't in precisely the same pristine condition it was in the day it opened 176 years ago, why *should* it be saved, right? Because every single one of us looks just the way we did when we were born - no signs of aging, wear and tear or hard living on us, nope! The LPC's position on this makes perfect sense - we need *more* out-of-scale, hideous buildings for our new entitled overlord class to play in!<br /><br />That's the same argument they used when they allowed the historically important 35 Cooper Square to be torn down - that an exterior coat of stucco - which could have been removed with a hammer and some man hours - changed the integrity of the building SO MUCH that the entire thing had to be bulldozed, to make way for that hulking - er, I mean, *charming* - hermetically-sealed 13-story dorm defiling - er, I mean, occupying - the space where that lovely little building, whose ground floor restaurants served the entire neighborhood for decades, once stood.<br /><br />I. Hate. the. Landmarks. "Preservation". Committee. They are a sick joke. This is a crime.

The current Landmarks Council has no interest in representing those who'd like to preserve the charm and character of our city. Or even those who can appreciate the wisdom of not demolishing one townhouse in the middle of a row of identical townhouses to preserve the symmetry and beauty of the configuration. Can we stop and ponder what a six plus story building will look like (because surely the new owner will build to the height limit) in the midst of the<br />existing three story buildings? The same council also recently declared it okay to demolish a really lovely and significant cast iron building because "the city has enough" cast iron buildings.
