The day of the announcement that the U.S. is quitting the UN and the building to be razed into a parking lot...

My plan for UN HQ:

Secretariat Building -- Auction off for condos (except lower floors, see below).
UN Library -- Becomes part of New York Public Library.
The "talking shop" building and lower floors of the Secretariat -- Museum of Communism (along the lines of the Holocaust Museum). Also houses an art museum to display the current UN collection. The gift shop and restaurant become concessions.
The park and sculpture garden -- Left as is. Part of the museum, but no admission charge. A good place for a park. Could be run by the Parks Department or by the museum.

With all due respect to your plans to utilize the "former" UN building and grounds -- which are very good -- the proposal lacks a symbolism befitting this former den of asps and theives...

I suggest the building be blasted into oblivion by a tank-fire. Period.

Afterwards, ANY evocation of the initials "UN" should be banned after rebuilding on the site.
