Not demolishing this is even a discussion point? Does it house a golden statue that I'm not aware of?

Everything is "heritage" in Kitchener, it seems. This is one building that really shouldn't be saved. But I guess if it's not your money, you can demand the government make it difficult for a builder. It all dates back to the old city hall, that was demolished when it shouldn't have been. Now it seems that everyone is triggered when we talk about demolishing an old(er) building.

Now so buildings should at least give us pause for thought, while others should be saved. I don't think building is in either category. That whole west side of King, from Ottawa to Stirling, needs work. And this proposal is a good start.
