...about the "almighty dollar." You seem unable to grasp that I was responding to an article in which it was plainly stated that the Historical Committee is wanting the power to permanently bar destruction of anything they unilaterally decide to be "historical." (Such as those historical dumps you want to preserve up on 17th Street.) THAT is the key issue. THAT is what prompted my initial post. You may feel that it won't happen, but you have no special insight or power to guarantee that outcome, do you? I am simply making my feelings known regarding its possibility, and to inspire people to stand up and insure that it doesn't happen.
