Well, I'm usually on the side of "Mr. Jaworsky, tear down this house", but I have no problem pointing out when a building deserves to be rescued.
I also believe that the pro-heritage community damages its own case for at times seeming to clamor for the preservation of any building > 50 years old and the rather mediocre dollar store in Downtown Kitchener.
The old City Hall was obviously worth preserving, which is why it had to go to a referendum. The replacement is hideous, yet when I called for it to be torn down and replaced by a better building and a public space people came to its defense.
