Yesterday, led by Speaker Christine Quinn, the New York City Council voted to limit Madison Square Garden’s permit to operate on top of Penn Station to just 10 more years.
Building a new Penn Station and the next Madison Square Garden will not only improve the lives of the hundreds of thousands of people who use the station every day – it will revitalize the surrounding area and bring tremendous long-term economic value to the region.

Thereby limiting the functional life of a major building to around 50 years while tossing hundreds of millions of dollars into the pockets of the "well-connected" (read "politically entwined").
Progress = tear down. And it's not the first time ... Remember Penn Station?
have you ever been in NY Penn Station, or the Garden? Why couldn't the terrorists take that crap hole out.
