Trump had some comments on this renovation a while back. They weren't complimentary for the UN's construction managers / architects.
Read Claudia Rosset's article about their "budgets". They should just get gone.
Need to slow this down. There are many, many rats in the U.N., and, yes, probably a lot of rodents, too.
Here we go:

I will be happy when the demolition team dynamites that place to the ground.
Let's move the HQ to Paris.
A nice, friendly and cultured city, with none of the urban troubles of NY. . .
They can probably put up a monster of a building inm Zimbabwe for 100 mil...
I remember that. Trump said he could do that project for about a third or less of the cost.
Thanks for the links to Trump's congressional testimony. Very enjoyable read.
Home Depot has paint on sale. That makes for a "renovation" for a lot of us little folks.
"with none of the urban troubles of NY. . ."
Moving it to France could be good.
Dude, I dont know the last time when you were in NYC, but there is plenty of urban troubles there. That place is the toilet bowl of the world.
Save the money let the next set of terrorists destroy it.
>>I will be happy when the demolition team dynamites that place to the ground.
October 2002, I believe (might have been 2003), on the observation platform of the Empire State Building on a crisp, clear Sunday morning. With the wife, teenaged son, and wife's homosexual extreme Leftist Manhattanite uncle. We're looking east, towards the UN.
Me: I wish it would slowly slide into the East River while we watched.
Uncle: There are nothing but cleaning crews there now, and they're nice people. It should wait until Monday, when the regular occupants are there.
The point being, even some Lefties are starting to "get it", when it comes to the UN.
bttt
Kick em out, pull it down.
A good first step of getting out of the U.N.. Moreover, making it relocate its headquarters outside the USA.
