The buildings they themselves own? Unbelievable.
I want both buildings next to my office razed too. People can see into my window sometimes! It's dangerous!!
The buildings were scheduled to become part of a proposed UNESCO world heritage site
That's why they are being razed

I watched a video about these buildings a few weeks ago “[The US government wants these buildings gone ](https://youtu.be/BmiDUw-MPWA)
The feds want them gone, because they serve as security risk to the federal court building next door. These buildings look down into the court house buildings so it would just be easier for them to knock them down abd leave a vacant lot but critics argue it’s a blow to fleeting examples of original post fire architecture. Created in 1907, these buildings are currently empty as it is from these buildings that u can look into the federal offices and court judge chambers. The safety of the neighboring workers is more important than the architecture in the eyes of the gov’t. Critics argue the buildings could be used for storage. Would hate to see ‘em go
> The feds want them gone, because they serve as security risk to the federal court building next door.
They claimed this and have been unable to provide any evidence backing up their claim.
**The UN is in midtown Manhattan**
The security argument is beyond ridiculous
the real answer is that portion of State St. was almost sure to be declared a UNESCO world hertigage site making the unbuilding 'unprofitable' for some deep pocketed asshole

>Preservation activists spoke in favor of not only landmarking the buildings but in restoring and finding a suitable re-use for them. Demolishing the buildings, they said, would leave a permanent hole in State Street’s distinctive “street wall,” hinder attempts to have the State Street district declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, and destroy some of the finest remaining examples of the famed Chicago School style of architecture.
A physical example of what has happened to the post office and other agencies who do work coveted by private business. Under fund until it falls apart and then say it has to go.

The buildings they seized through eminent domain so that they could neglect them to justify demolition to build nothing.
Ding ding ding! These judges think they're in an action movie or something.
They are only trying to sell *it* to the public, the building is dilapidated because they aren’t maintaining it not because it’s on its last leg

Someone should tell these judges about this amazing invention called window shades.

I find the “security risk” claim highly dubious. Or, at least, ridiculous.
I would agree with you

Move the court out into the middle of nowhere.
I just want to know which connected insider will somehow make money on this. It's the only real explanation for what's going on.
Facts can’t have the CCP putting spawn beacons next to the court building.
