What the hell is wrong with some of you people? What makes NYC so unique is its stock of old buildings. Its why a lot of people move there, to get away from the modern humdrum crap architecture we see in all of our suburbs and a lot of cities. It is very important to protect what is left, and the NYC historic commission is doing a very good job at ensuring that vast areas of the city remained untouched and protected. I am all for building new towers, but I also believe that historic structures should be protected at all costs. America has lost so much of its past with urban renewal and just bad upkeep of historic structures. NYC is unique and it needs to be protected.

NYGuy, it seems like you would want NYC to have very few historic structures and the rest just modern glass buildings.
