I've always envisioned leasing out the offices of the Secretariat building for flea market stalls. And the General Assembly would make a nice venue for midget jello wrestling. Both would be improvements over the three-ring circus that operates out of those buildings these days.

Bulldoze the place, then build good office space. Lease same for a profit. Think of it as recycling garbage.

Subsidized, low income housing. That won't require a zoning change.

Get the U.N. out of the U.S. and force Hollyweird and it's movie stars to give up their U.S. citizenship and move to France or Canada, we can worry about the real estate later.

Mount a bunch of retractable diving boards on the roof, and catch basins on the ground that lead to wood chippers. Then lure the left into taking tours of the place - ending on the roof. Lock the door leaving them on the roof, and start it on fire, giving them the option of jumping or being burned to death.

This will give them a good taste of 9-11.
