That building should be preserved..to house all the community boards and neighborhood opposition groups. No more fitting fate.

The building is a waste of space. Unique maybe, but not practical or pretty.

The building is terrible inside. I don't really understand what people are thinking when they say they think it should be saved. It's ugly and very inefficient. Because it's New York City. Everything is apparently perfect as is. Nothing can ever change. It's charming, it makes us just like Boston.

The ones who want to save it should just build a fake out of foam-core and they can take it with them.

Didn't we just go through this nonsense with that building at Columbus Circle? Someone really needs to reign in the preservationists. It's getting slightly ridiculous.

The question is: who are the ones responsible for landmarking this hideous building? It may be unique but that doesn't make a landmark.
