I pass a large empty lot where a building was recently torn down and now there is only rubble left. Looking up at the surrounding buildings, I realize that for the first time in years, perhaps the first time ever, direct sunlight is pouring into windows that never knew sunlight, direct or otherwise, because it was always blocked by the now-destroyed building. What must it be like for the people living in those apartments who suddenly have new light washing the floors of their homes where there was never any light before? And new views out windows where previously there was only a depressing gray wall to see? What will it be like when a new building is inevitably built here and their view goes back to a gray wall four feet away?
