Goddammit, it was a cartoon, not a charrette .

A. I hate that picture. B. I'm guessing from the footwear that that person is not supposed to be where they are.

My understanding of the the area was that City Hall, JFK, the court buildings, DA's office, police station, and the State Services Center all constitute the Government Center Complex.

Or....we could blame the person who is actively deciding to tear down a classic building. There is no law of nature forcing him to do so. He could just...not. It's well within his power to make that decision. This is 100% on him. Full stop.
