Impractical

I know it is impractical, but I really think the developers of the latest luxury condos should have to be able to contain their construction to the footprint of the building they destroyed for their new construction. I was on 8th walking down to Enterprise Rent - a - Car and I kept having to cross back and forth across the street because the street and sidewalk was closed on alternate sides of the street. Near my apartment there is a building that just got torn down and a new one is going up that is also closing sidewalks.
