i've never understood this weird tendency of leftists to align with conservatives on issues of "cultural heritage". i'm in favour of tearing it all down and rebuilding without the baggage of the past...

the city would be better off with a property owner in this space that pays taxes. i mean, it's prime real estate. why would anybody want an eyesore of a 150 year-old church there?

i might consequently suggest that the mall should fight the court case with the intent of bankrupting the church and forcing them to sell - perhaps even to the mall, itself, who could convert it into a parking lot.
