To Gored: You can't just take one error I made in my comment and then not respond to the ideas I'm suggesting. Please, give me a satisfactory answer to this question; Why is it so important for the Gore buildings to remain the same? Why are we so unsatisfied with the solution to rebuild the facade with new material? And please don't tell me that it's because the street will be gap-toothed for a few years, because that really isn't a measure of the long-term value/loss of tearing down the buildings.

I just get really frustrated because I think there is value in preserving old buildings, but there's also value in progress. It seems to me that sometimes EVERY old building on the slate gets people riled up. So this or that building used to be a school, or studio, or factory that was once important to the city. Now what? should we turn Hamilton into a museum of rotting old buildings?
