Little nibbles of this sort eventually change our city. Not for the better. This sounds like hyperbole, I know, but it's not. A building here, a building there, old, yes, but not meritorious enough to preserve. Then we build a fairly obtuse statement like this, or too often even worse, and we call it progress. It's not.

Could you give some specific examples? I have a sense you are pushing the frog in a pot theory, to point out that individual small lot building replacement can ultimately create more collective harm, than, say large scale urban renewal. My view is that generally the small scale tweaking is the right approach to keeping the city from becoming moribund while not sacrificing large swaths of existing urban fabric. But I'm open to hearing more about this idea you are suggesting.

I walked past this corner last week. It's such a busy pedestrian area, one of the busiest on a nice day because of The Common and T station. Hopefully the ground floor will be inviting for new visitors. Never has there been a better time for more awareness (for all peoples).
