"Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves.
Even when we had Penn Station, we couldn’t afford to keep it clean.
We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed."
- "Farewell to Penn Station," New York Times editorial, October 30, 1963 (as found on nyc-architecture.com)
