That would be amazing. The more drab white buildings that we get rid of, the better. This would be plumbing at its finest.

I’d like to see the vile POS located next door at 815 Second Avenue come down too.

This POS a few blocks up Second should come down too though it’s probably rent-regulated and, therefore, virtually impossible to redevelop.
