I sure would like the U.S. to start valuing more than profit.
There is a very committed group of people trying to save it, but the case has already exhausted its appeals. I don't know how large the Save Mount Manresa group is, but they have been protesting outside of it for months now. Apparently, they have some support from NYC Mayor DiBlasio (who was just elected in November), but I think it's a case of too little too late.

Some people blame the Catholic Church for selling out, and others are pointing fingers at the politicians who accepted money from the developer, but the fate seems to be sealed. In three months all those buildings will be demolished.
