Yes Andrew, I was trying to be tounge in cheek. There was never a renewal to those early attempts, but there might be this time around.

To RJ's point though, as much of the fabric that can be saved should, but not at the expense of the long term viability of the district. In other words, raised roads like the one leading to the actual plaza and it's corresponding underground wall will never be successfull. The Forestal building, while looking like a slice out of Communist hell could be reskinned to aleviate its mind numbing and dehumanizing character.

The real plus would be in getting in a lot of housing to activate both the water front and the mall 24-7. Ammenities that are underutilized. Many of the maga-beurocracies could be used to energize TOD's around existing metro infrastructure.
