What? You need to stop watching CNN and get out of you're liberal bubble. The south isn't anymore racist than the north, and blacks aren't some "oppressed people" in Atlanta.
i'm post often in the Globe about forging a plan to take down Boston's brutalist monolithic horrors.
we have that one (City Hall/World's most gigantic cement pool table), but unfortunately, it doesn't stop there......
We also have 1-3 Center Plaza, the McCormack Blding (the world's most gigantic rubiks cube), State Service Center bldg (worse than city hall), the Harbor Garage, 1 Beacon St, and JFK Fed office park
when we exhaust every serious highrise parcel, City Hall is coming down with 10,000 lb bombs.
dropped by a sortie of B2s and F-35s..... with a second pass of B-52s.
hopefully a few stray bombs will take out the State Services Building and JFK Fed....
The 60's weren't a good decade for Boston buildings. We also got this state owned gem.
I don't know what you guys want a modern building to look like-- a suburban glass cube or another fake decorated colonial box? Both City Hall and the State Services building in this pic are bold sculptural structures that make the most of modern building materials (e.g., reinforced concrete). They could be softened with color or better lighting or with cozy cafes or gathering spaces. If city/state took better care of them and their plazas they wouldn't be as easy targets for cheap shots.

My God. They are the most obscene examples (1st & 2nd Place) of the woefull destruction of iconic and historic, urban neighborhoods outside the wartime context in world history. ...There isn't enough space in this forum to adapt to language the hate those Brutalist wacko's of the 1960s rightfully earned.
The Midtown Hotel urban dumpscape is also being held hostage by another horrific non-useful, under-utilized mistake: Christian Science Park.
Throw them all, including 133 Fed into the Dustbin of History.
