Sadly because of the very small land area that encompasses New York City and high population density, nothing in the city really ever achieves landmark status. It's very rare.  |

I'm a tour guide,
landmark staus starts with something being 50 yeras old or more,
you're telling me that no one in nyc cares about the HOUSE THAT RUTH BUILT being demolished?

| A lot of people care, but as part of the agreement to acquire the land the Yankees acquired to build the new stadium, they have to replace the parkland that they are "destroying" to build the stadium. |

It doesn't really matter to me. If you leave it standing, someone has to pay for its upkeep. Who is going to pay for it? And with the size of NY City, space probably is at a premium. In the end, this is probably better for everyone involved.

| It's up to the city whether or not they want to give something landmark status, and the city has supported the new stadium plan all along, mainly because it's mostly privately funded. There isn't any rule or anything like that where if something is around X amount of years it automatically gets landmark status. |
