Also: don’t accept this line of thinking. Old buildings should be preserved regardless of historic status. It’s crazy how New Yorkers go and visit Paris and Amsterdam and Venice for vacation and then come back and want to destroy our own old buildings.

Paris literally can't be built up because it's sitting on hollow ground.

The population of NYC was 122,000 when this building was constructed. It's 8,400,000 today. Need to put people somewhere.

I’m not talking about building up. They could just destroy buildings to more efficiently house people. And forget about particulars, what about literally any major European city.
