In contrast, this skyscraper is nothing but a bland, generic, uninspiring building. There are plenty of other locations they could build this same pile of crap where they wouldn't have to destroy a unique historical building.
I don't understand the value in saving a building just for the sake of saving it - when most people never has access to this space. What's the point of saving it if it's essentially locked away from most of us? When this was being discussed (last year?) some delegations made a big deal about the fact that once (in 2016 I think) for one day this building was open to the public for Doors Open. But other than that, most people have never been, nor ever will be in this building. I'd rather see it used to house people (while saving and reusing as much as they can).
