I find this nauseating.

I personally don't care where ML relocates to, but this piece casually leaves out that the Hotel Penn building which would be demo'd for something potentially as boring and ugly as the new Bank of America tower, was built in 1917-1919 by McKim, Mead, and White, influential architects of NY's Golden Age, from which Merrill Lynch flowered.

I find it dissatisfying that NYC will soon look like Singapore, shiny but without meaning or context.
