I'd love to see it turned into a museum with historical exhibits about dictators, communism, and corrupt "world governments."

The Holocaust Museum should be moved there too.

"This site could fetch over $500 million, with residential and commercial developers alike foaming at the mouth to get what used to be an old pig farm,"

I wonder if the delegates from Islamic countries knew about that?

Live there? Nope, too many bad vibes and evil spirits.

This is an extremely valuable piece of property and would certainly be converted into residential space if the United Nations were to relocate,"

Are any of the old German Federal Government buildings in Bonn available?

How about buildings in Annan's Ghana?

[television is just wrong]

Ttoss the U.N. out. they are worthless to us anyway.

Used to be? It still is as far as I can tell, with several massive troughs, including a now closed one marked 'Oil for Food'.

...what used to be an old pig farm

The UN is STILL a pig farm!

Get the UN out of the US & the US out of the UN!!

According to the Sun's Sunday editorial, the U.N. building is falling apart (despite its historical landmark status) and in need of serious renovation.

The U.N. has apparently gained approval for a $1.2 billion loan from Washington, and they want to build a new 35-story building on the site to use during renovations of the old building.

New York apparently owns several adjacent buildings as part of U.N. Plaza, but the U.N. itself is sovereign territory, just like an embassy, and no one can really "kick the U.N. out."
