If you continue to destroy structures that have architectural, historic or cultural significance in your city, you will lose the historic character that has survived for years!
Your buildings help define how a city grew. It's your city's history! Corner buildings are of key importance. Why not get a citizens petition going to ask your city council for local legislation to enable the city to regulate demolition?
It is up to the city to make sure that it preserves the character and integrity of the historic districts through laws andordinances. Losing the very fabric of your city to demolition or to the whim of developers who build structures unsympathetic to the surroundings should be outlawed. If the council does not listen to the citizens - vote them out!
