Comment on QVB glass replacement

A company asked the Sydney City Council to remove some of the stained-glass windows in the QVB because they are 'blocking wares from being displayed', and there was a request for comment by the council to the public.

At the time I misunderstood that a luxury brand was looking to pull out of a lease early, citing this constraint. But I understand now that a company was looking to lease it and asked for this to happen. That's why my post reads the way it does.

The destruction of our beautiful buildings by companies describing them as 'blocking goods from being displayed' is clearly just a cynical attempt at litigation in an attempt to save money. They know it will most likely not be approved. I hope we can stand firm in the face of companies who demand a right to the beauty of our city, hoping no doubt to one day have our streets be little more than conveyor belts taking us from point of sale to point of sale.
