A non-profit architectural foundation of which I am part is proposing to rebuild the original beaux arts Penn Station: https://www.civicart.org/rebuilding-new-yorks-original-penns...

If there's demand, I could ask the team/architects to do an ama of some kind.

But that's the problem - people are excited about building a new station on top.

But people aren't excited about rebuilding the 2 highly damaged tunnels underneath the river (or build some new ones).

Stuff like that is hard to sell because it doesn't capture people's imagination or attention - nor does it provide for great photo-ops. :(
