If that's correct, then what preservationist movements are you talking about?

The two I'm talking about were
Pioneer Square, culmnating in 1970, and the 1963-1971 battle for the
Pike Place Market that ended in a public vote.
Pioneer Square was the result of widespread community support along with leadership by neighborhood leaders. The Pike Place Market, I'll concede, was about the Market broadly speaking, not just its buildings, though the alternate proposal would have replaced much of the market aspect.
