Protection laws were made in NYC after the destruction of Penn Station, when people realized demolishing old buildings were not such a good idea.

Penn Station died for our sins.

Describing its demolition as an act of terror is more than accurate.

Every time I go into Penn I want to cry thinking about what we used to have. At least Grand Central is still alive and kicking.

Detroit's economy declined due to industrial restructuring, suburbanization, and job losses, its auto industry failed, and the city became a containment zone for poor blacks as whites fled. Detroit also has a long history of corruption.

Fuck liberals and /pol/cucks.

San Francisco, after the earthquake and fire.

10 years later it was almost completely rebuilt and they hosted the Panama Exposition.

this. These are wonderful historical photos but please join us in the present where women and minorities, due to three separate federal civil rights acts and political correctness, have more rights than any white male could dream of yet they still squander the opportunities and demand government give them more while blaming others for their laziness. Fuck Off.
