It would be like moving Fenway Park to Stoughton.

Especially to the warehouse district.

Count me a fan of Boston City Hall (though not its plaza). Apparently, the few who share my opinion are no longer citing the architectural value of the widely loathed misunderstood landmark. They're pitching its access as a reason to keep in standing where it is (and not move it down to the Aquarium site in a multi-building swap that may or may not include a tower-to-be-named-later).

It's also not very green to tear down a 40-year-old building. There's a lot of embedded energy -- the energy used to construct it -- that would be wasted in the energy-intensive process of building something else on the site. A lot of energy was used building City Hall. Let's not waste more energy tearing it down and building something else.
